Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) enables you to visualize and analyze the real-time performance and user journeys of your application’s individual users.

Start monitoring Browser applications

To get started with RUM for Browser, create an application and configure the Browser SDK.

This section includes the following topics:

Client-Side: Instrument each of your browser-based web applications, deploy the application, then configure the initialization parameters you want to track, and use advanced configuration to further manage data and context that RUM collects.

Auto-Instrumentation: Inject a RUM SDK JavaScript scriptlet into the HTML responses of your web applications being served through a web server or proxy.

Advanced configuration: Configure RUM Browser SDK to modify data collection, override view names, manage user sessions, and control sampling for your application's needs.

Data Collected: Review data that the Browser SDK collects.

Monitoring Page Performance: Monitor view timings to understand your application's performance from a user's perspective.

Optimizing Performance: Use the RUM Optimization page to identify and troubleshoot browser performance issues with Core Web Vitals analysis and user experience visualization.

Monitoring Resource Performance: Monitor browser resource performance and link RUM data with backend traces for full end-to-end visibility.

Collecting Browser Errors: Learn how to collect and track frontend errors from multiple sources using RUM Browser SDK, including manual error collection and React error boundaries.

Tracking User Actions: Track and analyze user interactions in your browser application with automatic click detection and action performance insights.

Frustration Signals: Identify user friction points with RUM frustration signals (including rage clicks, dead clicks, and error clicks) to improve user experience and reduce abandonment.

Troubleshooting: Common troubleshooting Browser SDK issues.
