Overview

The RUM Android 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 will 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 onActivityResumed and onActivityPaused callbacks are called through the ActivityLifecycleCallbacks interface. Each occurrence is classified as a distinct view. While a user stays on a view, RUM event attributes (Errors, Resources, and 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 (such as an 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 Android SDK creates a view called “ApplicationLaunch”. This view’s start time matches the start of the Android 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 that depends on Android version:

  • In Android 7.0 and above, this view/action captures the period before any application code is executed (right before Application.onCreate) and when the first RUM event is recorded.
  • In versions before Android 7.0, the view/action captures the period between the RumFeature class loads and when the first RUM event is recorded.

Default attributes

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

Data storage

Before data is uploaded to Datadog, it is stored in cleartext in your application’s cache directory. This cache folder is protected by Android’s Application Sandbox, meaning that on most devices this data can’t be read by other applications. However, if the mobile device is rooted, or someone tempers with the Linux kernel, the stored data might become readable.

Data upload

The RUM Android SDK allows you to get the data you need to Datadog while considering user bandwidth impact. The Datadog SDK batches and uploads events as follows:

  • On event collected, the Datadog SDK appends uncompressed events to a batch file (using a tag-length-value, or TLV encoding format)
  • On upload (when the batch is considered “closed”), the Datadog SDK:
    • Reads the batch and extract events
    • Drops redundant View events in RUM (no optimizations in other tracks)
    • Builds payloads specific to each track
    • Compresses the payload and sends it

Direct Boot mode support

If your application supports Direct Boot mode, note that data captured before the device is unlocked won’t be captured, since the credential encrypted storage won’t be available yet.
