Prerequisites
Your Java application is monitored by ARMS Application Monitoring, with an agent V4.3.0 or later installed.
You have created business parameter extraction rules.
Create a business trace
Exclude interfaces requiring InputStream access from business traces to prevent failures. When a business trace is created, the ARMS agent extracts request parameters, triggering premature InputStream reading for ContentType: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Since InputStream is single-read, subsequent business code access fails, causing exceptions.
Log on to the ARMS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the page that appears, click Create. In the Create New Business Trace panel, set parameters as needed and click Confirm.
