The RUM Browser SDK generates events with associated metrics and attributes. Each RUM event has all default attributes, such as the page URL (view_url) and user information like device type (device_type) and country (geo_country).
There are also additional metrics and attributes specific to a given event type. For example, the view_loading_time metric is associated with view events, while the resource_method attribute is associated with resource events.
Event Types
| Event Type | Retention | Description |
|---|
| Session | 30 days | A user session begins when a user starts browsing the web application. It contains high-level information about the user (browser, device, geolocation). It aggregates all RUM events collected during the user journey using a unique session_id attribute |
| View | 30 days | A view event is generated each time a user visits a page of the web application. While the user stays on the same page, resource, long task, error, and action events are linked to the related RUM view using the view_id attribute |
| Resource | 15 days | Resource events are generated for images, XHR, Fetch, CSS, or JS libraries loaded on a webpage. They include detailed loading time information |
| Long Task | 15 days | Long task events are generated for any task in the browser that blocks the main thread for more than 50 milliseconds |
| Error | 30 days | RUM collects every frontend error emitted by the browser |
| Action | 30 days | RUM action events track user interactions during the user journey and can also be manually sent to monitor custom user actions |
Sessions are reset after 15 minutes of inactivity.
