Depending on the type value:
REGEX_EXTRACTION: The regular expression.BETWEEN_DELIMITER: The opening delimiter string to look for.- All other values: The delimiter string to look for.
The closing delimiter string to look for.
Required if the kind value is BETWEEN_DELIMITER. Not applicable otherwise.
The type of extraction.
Defines either usage of regular expression (regex) or the position of request attribute value to be extracted.
When the attribute is SERVICE_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE attribute and aggregation is COUNT, needs to be set to ORIGINAL_TEXT

The name of the placeholder. Use it in the naming pattern as {name}.

Required if the kind value is SERVICE_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE. Not applicable otherwise.
If true request attribute will be taken from a child service call.
Only applicable for the SERVICE_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE attribute. Defaults to false.
The PropagationSource object
Defines valid sources of request attributes for conditions or placeholders.
Use only request attributes from services that belong to this management zone.. Use either this or serviceTag
Use only request attributes from services that have this tag. Use either this or managementZone
The UniversalTag object
Use only request attributes from services that have this tag. Use either this or managementZone
The origin of the tag, such as AWS or Cloud Foundry. For custom tags use the CONTEXTLESS value.
The context is set for tags that are automatically imported by OneAgent (for example, from the AWS console or environment variables). It’s useful for determining the origin of tags when not manually defined, and it also helps to prevent clashes with other existing tags. If the tag is not automatically imported, CONTEXTLESS set.
AWSAWS_GENERICAZURECLOUD_FOUNDRYCONTEXTLESSENVIRONMENTGOOGLE_COMPUTE_ENGINEKUBERNETES
The key of the tag. For custom tags, put the tag value here.
The key allows categorization of multiple tags. It is possible that there are multiple values for a single key which will all be represented as standalone tags. Therefore, the key does not have the semantic of a map key but is more like a key of a key-value tuple. In some cases, for example custom tags, the key represents the actual tag value and the value field is not set – those are called valueless tags.
The value of the tag. Not applicable to custom tags.
If a tag does have a separate key and value (in the textual representation they are split by the colon ‘:’), this field is set with the actual value. Key-value pairs can occur for automatically imported tags and tags set by rules if extractors are used.

Example
In this example, the request inquires about the descriptor of the Top database calls per URL metric, which has the metric key of calc:service.topdbcallsperurl. The metric tracks the number of HTTP calls to databases, where the method is POST. The values of the metric are split by the request name.
The API token is passed in the Authorization header.
