--- title: Explore A Preview of RUM Features In Synthetic Monitoring description: >- Users without RUM can now preview RUM data, sessions, and errors from their Synthetic browser test results with no additional cost. breadcrumbs: >- Docs > Synthetic Testing and Monitoring > Synthetic Monitoring Guides > Explore A Preview of RUM Features In Synthetic Monitoring --- # Explore A Preview of RUM Features In Synthetic Monitoring ## Overview{% #overview %} {% alert level="info" %} If you have Real User Monitoring, you can access a preview of RUM, Session Replay, Error Tracking, and additional performance data from your Synthetic browser test runs. {% /alert %} Synthetic browser tests embed the Real User Monitoring SDK, allowing you to explore: - [Session Replay](https://docs.datadoghq.com/session_replay/browser/) for all tests. You can access additional context beyond screenshots available for each step and [Browser Dev Tools](https://docs.datadoghq.com/session_replay/browser/dev_tools/). - The session in the [RUM Explorer](https://docs.datadoghq.com/real_user_monitoring/explorer/). - Aggregated errors across your different steps, tests, and test runs with [Error Tracking](https://docs.datadoghq.com/real_user_monitoring/error_tracking/). You can scope the error impact and prioritize fixing the most severe issues. - Extra resources and timing information from RUM including additional search and monitor capabilities. ## Allow Synthetic data on RUM applications{% #allow-synthetic-data-on-rum-applications %} {% alert level="danger" %} If the target application is already instrumented with RUM, you should not enable RUM data collection within the synthetic test configuration as this can result in unexpected behavior. {% /alert %} In your browser test recording, click **Collect RUM Data on** above the **Start Recording** button and select an application to collect data on. After saving your recording and test configuration, RUM gathers test data and generates session recordings from your browser test runs. 1. Navigate to **Digital Experience** > **Settings** (under Synthetic Monitoring & Testing) > [**Integration Settings**](https://app.datadoghq.com/synthetics/settings/integrations). 1. Under **Synthetic Data RUM Collection**, click **Enable Synthetic RUM data collection** to enable Datadog to collect RUM data from your test runs. 1. Click **Save RUM Data Collection**. 1. Under **Synthetic Data RUM Applications**, select a default RUM application suggested in the Browser Test Recorder from the dropdown menu. 1. Click **Save RUM Data Applications**. Optionally, click `Synthetic Tests Default` and select another RUM application from the dropdown menu. This application is displayed in the browser test recording.
