Package description
The @datadog/browser-rum package is a Real User Monitoring (RUM) solution provided by Datadog. It allows developers to collect and analyze performance and user behavior data from their web applications in real-time. This data can be used to identify and troubleshoot issues, improve user experience, and monitor application performance.
Real User Monitoring
Initializes the RUM SDK to start collecting data from the user's browser, including session replay recording.
import { datadogRum } from '@datadog/browser-rum';
datadogRum.init({
applicationId: 'YOUR_APPLICATION_ID',
clientToken: 'YOUR_CLIENT_TOKEN',
site: 'datadoghq.com',
service:'your-service-name',
// Specify a version number to identify the deployed version of your application in Datadog
version: '1.0.0',
sampleRate: 100,
trackInteractions: true,
});
datadogRum.startSessionReplayRecording();Custom User Actions
Records custom user actions, such as button clicks, with additional context.
datadogRum.addAction('button_click', { buttonId: 'my-button' });Logging Errors
Logs errors manually with additional context to help with debugging.
datadogRum.addError(new Error('Something went wrong'), {
context: {
productId: 123
}
});User Tracking
Sets user information to track user-specific data and associate it with the collected RUM data.
datadogRum.setUser({
id: '1234',
name: 'John Doe',
email: 'john.doe@example.com',
// User-defined attributes
plan_type: 'premium',
});The Elastic APM Real User Monitoring JavaScript agent allows you to monitor the performance of your web applications and identify bottlenecks and issues. It is similar to @datadog/browser-rum in that it collects performance metrics, but it is designed to work within the Elastic APM ecosystem.
New Relic's Browser agent provides a similar set of features for monitoring the performance of web applications, including real user monitoring. It offers insights into the front-end performance and user experience but is tailored to integrate with New Relic's suite of monitoring tools.
Raygun4js is a JavaScript SDK for Raygun, providing error tracking and real user monitoring. It captures errors and performance data from the browser, offering a feature set that competes with @datadog/browser-rum, with a focus on error diagnosis and resolution.
