@datadog/browser-rum
Advanced tools
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',
});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.
Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) enables you to visualize and analyze the real-time performance and user journeys of your application's individual users.
See the dedicated datadog documentation for more details.
To start collecting events, add @datadog/browser-rum to your package.json file, then initialize it with:
import { datadogRum } from '@datadog/browser-rum'
datadogRum.init({
applicationId: '<DATADOG_APPLICATION_ID>',
clientToken: '<DATADOG_CLIENT_TOKEN>',
site: '<DATADOG_SITE>',
// service: 'my-web-application',
// env: 'production',
// version: '1.0.0',
sessionSampleRate: 100,
sessionReplaySampleRate: 100,
trackResources: true,
trackLongTasks: true,
trackUserInteractions: true,
})
Note: The trackUserInteractions parameter enables the automatic collection of user clicks in your application. Sensitive and private data contained in your pages may be included to identify the elements interacted with.
