When request metrics is active, trace filters control which requests get traced. The data is recorded to the system log file or sent through Application Response Measurement (ARM) for real-time and historical analysis.
HTTP requests that arrive at WebSphere® Application Server might be filtered based on the URI or the IP address or both of the originator of the request.

Note: If the client machine is a dual stack machine and its IP address is specified as the source IP address that is filtered by the request metrics filter, you must specify the IPv4 addressing format rather than the IPv6 addressing format. Only if the client machine is a single stack IPv6 machine, can you specify it as the IPv6 addressing format
The web services filter and the Java Message Service (JMS) filter was added to the WebSphere Application Server, Version 6 product. The filter values for web services are a combination of a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) port name, operation name, and transport name. The filter value for JMS is the destination name.
