Browser Monitoring Setup

Setup

Choose the instrumentation type for the Browser SDK:

	Auto-instrumentation (Preview)	Agentic Onboarding (Preview)	Client-side (Manual)
SDK setup mechanism	Automatically add RUM JS to your web app HTML, then manage configurations in the UI.	Use an AI-guided setup that detects your project’s framework and adds the RUM SDK with a single prompt.	Manually add the RUM SDK to your application code and manage configurations in code.
Code changes required	No	Yes (automated by AI agent)	Yes
Setup complexity	Low	Low	Medium
Supported platforms	Apache, IBM HTTP Server, Java Servlet, Nginx, Windows IIS	Next.js, React, Svelte, Vue, Vanilla JavaScript	All browser-based applications
User groups	Ideal for SRE and engineering teams without access to frontend code or who need centralized management: - Enable RUM across many apps without code changes - Monitor organization-wide frontend performance from a single place	Ideal for teams using AI coding agents (such as Cursor or Claude Code): - Accelerate RUM setup with AI-guided instrumentation - Automate framework detection and SDK configuration - Reducing time-to-observability for new projects	Ideal for frontend engineering, mobile engineering, or product teams who work directly in application code: - Support daily engineering workflows (such as live support, troubleshooting, and health checks for downstream services) - Power product workflows (such as user flow analysis, segmentation, and feature tracking) - Use custom code to track behavior not captured by automatic instrumentation
