Descripción general

El SDK del navegador de Datadog habilita el Real User Monitoring (RUM) para tus aplicaciones web, proporcionando una visibilidad integral de la experiencia del usuario y el rendimiento de la aplicación. Con RUM, puedes monitorear los tiempos de carga de páginas, las interacciones del usuario, la carga de recursos y los errores de la aplicación en tiempo real.

RUM te ayuda a:

  • Monitorea la experiencia del usuario con métricas de rendimiento detalladas para cargas de página, acciones del usuario y solicitudes de recursos
  • Realiza el seguimiento del recorrido del usuario a través de tu aplicación con capacidades de reproducción de sesión
  • Identifica cuellos de botella en el rendimiento y correlaciona el rendimiento del frontend y del backend con trazas de APM

El SDK del navegador es compatible con todos los navegadores modernos de escritorio y móviles y proporciona la recolección automática de métricas clave de rendimiento, interacciones del usuario y errores de la aplicación. Después de la configuración, puedes gestionar tus configuraciones de RUM por aplicación en Datadog y visualizar los datos recolectados en tableros y en el RUM Explorer.

This page describes how to instrument your web applications with the Datadog Browser SDK. The Browser SDK supports Real User Monitoring (RUM), Error Tracking, Session Replay, and Product Analytics.

Select a setup method based on your application stack and workflow:

  • Manual client-side setup: Add the SDK directly to your frontend code when you need full control over initialization and configuration.
  • Agentic Onboarding: Use an AI-assisted workflow to automatically configure and deploy the SDK with minimal manual steps.
  • Server-side auto-instrumentation (RUM only): Inject the SDK through your web server or proxy when you cannot modify frontend code directly.

The Browser SDK supports all modern desktop and mobile browsers.

Setup

Create the application in the UI

  1. In Datadog, navigate to Digital Experience > Add an Application and select the JavaScript (JS) application type.
  2. Enter a name for your application, then click Create Application. This generates a clientToken and an applicationId for your application.

Install the Browser SDK

Choose the installation method for the Browser SDK.

Installing through Node Package Manager (npm) registry is recommended for modern web applications. The Browser SDK is packaged with the rest of your frontend JavaScript code. It has no impact on page load performance. However, the SDK may miss errors, resources, and user actions triggered before the SDK is initialized. Datadog recommends using a matching version with the Browser Logs SDK.

Add @datadog/browser-rum to your package.json file, for example if you use npm cli:

npm install --save @datadog/browser-rum

Installing through CDN async is recommended for web applications with performance targets. The Browser SDK loads from Datadog's CDN asynchronously, ensuring the SDK download does not impact page load performance. However, the SDK may miss errors, resources, and user actions triggered before the SDK is initialized.

Add the generated code snippet to the head tag of every HTML page you want to monitor in your application.

Installing through CDN sync is recommended for collecting all events. The Browser SDK loads from Datadog's CDN synchronously, ensuring the SDK loads first and collects all errors, resources, and user actions. This method may impact page load performance.

Add the generated code snippet to the head tag (in front of any other script tags) of every HTML page you want to monitor in your application. Placing the script tag higher and loading it synchronously ensures Datadog RUM can collect all performance data and errors.

Initialize the Browser SDK

The SDK should be initialized as early as possible in the app lifecycle. This ensures all measurements are captured correctly.

In the initialization snippet, set an environment name, service name, and client token. See the full list of initialization parameters.

import { datadogRum } from '@datadog/browser-rum';

datadogRum.init({
   applicationId: '<APP_ID>',
   clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
   // `site` refers to the Datadog site parameter of your organization
   // see https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/
   site: '<DATADOG_SITE>',
  //  service: 'my-web-application',
  //  env: 'production',
  //  version: '1.0.0',
});

Types are compatible with TypeScript >= 3.8.2. For earlier versions of TypeScript, import JavaScript sources and use global variables to avoid any compilation issues.

import '@datadog/browser-rum/bundle/datadog-rum'

window.DD_RUM.init({
  ...
})
<script>
  window.DD_RUM.onReady(function() {
    window.DD_RUM.init({
      clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
      applicationId: '<APP_ID>',
      // `site` refers to the Datadog site parameter of your organization
      // see https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/
      site: '<DATADOG_SITE>',
      //  service: 'my-web-application',
      //  env: 'production',
      //  version: '1.0.0',
    });
  })
</script>
<script>
    window.DD_RUM && window.DD_RUM.init({
      clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
      applicationId: '<APP_ID>',
      // `site` refers to the Datadog site parameter of your organization
      // see https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/
      site: '<DATADOG_SITE>',
      //  service: 'my-web-application',
      //  env: 'production',
      //  version: '1.0.0',

    });
</script>

To be compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, the Browser SDK lets you provide the tracking consent value at initialization.

Configure Content Security Policy (CSP)

If you're using the Datadog Content Security Policy (CSP) integration on your site, see the CSP documentation for additional setup steps.

Use the Agentic Onboarding page to instrument your browser application using the AI Setup CLI or the Datadog MCP Server.

RUM Auto-Instrumentation is not available for the selected site (). Use Client-Side instrumentation instead.

Server-side auto-instrumentation only supports RUM. For Error Tracking, Session Replay, or Product Analytics, use manual client-side setup.

RUM Auto-Instrumentation allows you to add RUM JS to your web app HTML. It works by injecting the RUM Browser SDK into the HTML responses being served through a web server or proxy. After auto-instrumentation is set up, you can manage configurations from the UI.

RUM Auto-Instrumentation requires Datadog Agent version 7.34+.

Getting started

Select a platform to start collecting RUM data on your application:

To request support for a web server that is not listed here, fill out this form.

Java Servlet
NGINX
Windows IIS
Apache HTTP Server
IBM HTTP Server

Limitations

Server-side auto-instrumentation has the following limitations. If your use case requires more control, use client-side instrumentation instead.

  • This instrumentation method does not support advanced RUM configurations.
  • If your web server is acting as a proxy and the upstream server uses end-to-end encryption (TLS) or content compression (gzip, zstd, Brotli), the RUM Browser SDK cannot be injected. For proper instrumentation:
    • Disable content compression on the upstream server.
    • Enable TLS origination on the web server.

Start monitoring

Visualize the data collected in dashboards or create a search query in the RUM Explorer.

Your application appears as pending on the Applications page until Datadog starts receiving data.

Establecer tasas de muestreo de sesiones

Para controlar los datos que tu aplicación envía a Datadog RUM, puedes especificar una tasa de muestreo para las sesiones RUM al inicializar el SDK del navegador. Por ejemplo, para muestrear el 80% de las sesiones, establece sessionSampleRate en 80:

datadogRum.init({
  applicationId: '<APP_ID>',
  clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
  site: '<DATADOG_SITE>',
  sessionSampleRate: 80,
  sessionReplaySampleRate: 20,
  // ... other configuration options
});

Para más información, consulte Browser RUM & Session Replay Sampling.

Comienza a monitorear tu aplicación

Ahora que has completado la configuración básica para RUM, tu aplicación está recopilando errores del navegador y puedes comenzar a monitorear y depurar problemas en tiempo real.

Visualiza los datos recopilados en tableros o crea una consulta de búsqueda en el RUM Explorer.

Tu aplicación aparece como pendiente en la página de Aplicaciones hasta que Datadog comience a recibir datos.
