What is Real User Monitoring (RUM) in Datadog?

Real User Monitoring captures actual visitor sessions on your web or mobile app - page loads, clicks, navigation, resource timing, and errors - directly from the browser or device, rather than inferring user experience from backend metrics alone.

A small SDK embedded in the frontend collects these events and sends them to Datadog, where they can be broken down by device, browser, geography, or app version to see who is actually affected by a slow page or a crash.

Because RUM events carry the same session and trace identifiers used elsewhere in Datadog, a slow page load can be linked directly to the backend request and traces that caused it.
