Administration - Web Agents

A Web agent maps the received data from the users Browsers via the UXM Web JavaScript that was installed on the Web server, into corresponding application.

The Javascript automatically creates the website when we receive data, so you only need to edit and enable the web agent.

The minimum needed data to input is, Name and Agent key.

The name should be as descriptive as possible. For example customer, name of system and if any filter is set.

The Agent key is per default FQDN for the URL that the UXM Web JavaScript runs on.

Application is chosen from a dropdown among available options.

 

Table of web agents

The table consists of following 6 columns:

  • Name: Name of the web agent as defined by the user who created it.
    Name should be descriptive for which customer or site it works with.

  • Agent Key: Agent key which is defined when installing/configuring JavaScript on web server, default is the FQDN where the script runs on.

  • URL/Query Filter: Filter the data by looking at the Url and Query to see if it matches the filtering regular expression. You can test your regexes at https://regex101.com/

    Example:
    \/subsite1\/|%2Fsubsite1%2F matches the strings: http://test.io/subsite1/ and http://test.io/login?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.io%2Fsubsite1%2F

  • Application: Application that the received data should be assigned to.

  • Last data: A timestamp of the last date where the web agent has send data. (Currently displays when the agent saw data first time, will be updated to show when data was last received)

  • Store User-Agent: Yes/No boolean. If Yes, it adds the User-Agent to the collected data sent to Splunk, is No per default to save space in the Splunk Index.
