Masking
objectpersonalDataUriMaskingEnabled
Dynatrace captures the URIs and request headers sent from desktop and mobile browsers. Dynatrace also captures request data on the server-side to enable detailed performance analysis of your applications. For complete details, visit Mask personal data in URIs.
URIs, query strings, headers, exception messages and data captured for request attributes can contain personal data. When this setting is enabled, Dynatrace automatically detects UUIDs, credit card numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, and other IDs and replaces those values with placeholders. The personal data is then masked in PurePath analysis, error analysis, user action naming for RUM, and elsewhere in Dynatrace.
userActionMaskingEnabled
When Dynatrace detects a user action that triggers a page load or an AJAX/XHR action. To learn more about masking user actions, visit Mask user actions.

If such confidential data appears in your application's user action names, enable the Mask user action names setting. This setting replaces specific HTML element names and values with generic HTML element names. With user-action name masking enabled, the user action names listed above appear as:
UserTracking
