Overview

The RUM iOS SDK generates events that have associated metrics and attributes. Metrics are quantifiable values that can be used for measurements related to the event. Attributes are non-quantifiable values used to slice metrics data (group by) in analytics.

Every RUM event has all of the default attributes, for example, the device type (device.type) and user information such as their name (usr.name) and their country (geo.country).

There are additional metrics and attributes that are specific to a given event type. For example, the metric view.time_spent is associated with “view” events and the attribute resource.method is associated with “resource” events.

Event TypeRetentionDescription
Session30 daysA session represents a real user journey on your mobile application. It begins when the user launches the application, and the session remains live as long as the user stays active. During the user journey, all RUM events generated as part of the session share the same session.id attribute. Note: The session resets after 15 minutes of inactivity. If the application is killed by the OS, you can reset the session while the application is in the background.
View30 daysA view represents a unique screen (or screen segment) on your mobile application. A view starts and stops when the viewDidAppear(animated:) and viewDidDisappear(animated:) callbacks on the UIViewController class are notified. Individual UIViewControllers are classified as distinct views. While a user stays on a view, RUM event attributes (Errors, Resources, Actions) get attached to the view with a unique view.id.
Resource15 daysA resource represents network requests to first-party hosts, APIs, and third-party providers in your mobile application. All requests generated during a user session are attached to the view with a unique resource.id.
Error30 daysAn error represents an exception or crash emitted by the mobile application attached to the view it is generated in.
Action30 daysAn action represents user activity in your mobile application (for example, application launch, tap, swipe, or back). Each action is attached with a unique action.id attached to the view it gets generated in.
Long Task15 daysA long task event is generated for any task in the application that blocks the main thread for more than the specified duration threshold.

The following diagram illustrates the RUM event hierarchy:

RUM Event hierarchy

Application launch

During initialization, the RUM iOS SDK creates a view called “ApplicationLaunch”. This view’s start time matches the start of the iOS process, and can be used to track your application launch time.

The ApplicationLaunch view includes any logs, actions, and resources created before your first call to startView. Use the duration of this view to determine time to first view. This view has an action, application_start, with a duration equal to the amount of time from process start until the call to applicationDidBecomeActive.

In cases where iOS decides to prewarm your application, the ApplicationLaunch view instead starts when the RUM iOS SDK is initialized, and the application_start event does not have a duration.

Default attributes

RUM collects common attributes for all events and attributes specific to each event by default listed below. You can also choose to enrich your user session data with additional events to default events specific to your application monitoring and business analytics needs.
