Application Management - Flashduty Docs

Overview

A RUM application is a container for frontend performance monitoring data, used to collect, store, and analyze real user experience data from frontend applications. An application represents a monitored frontend project, which can be a website, mobile app, or single-page application.

We recommend creating RUM applications based on business systems or applications, such as: official website, e-commerce store, admin dashboard, etc.

Each application has its own unique applicationId and clientToken, used to identify data sources and ensure data security. After the application is created, you need to integrate the SDK into your frontend code to start data collection and monitoring.

Application Permissions

To meet the data security requirements of different business scenarios, RUM applications provide flexible access level settings:

Access Level	Visibility	Applicable Scenarios
Public	Visible to all users in the account, can view data and handle Issues	General business applications
Private	Only visible to creator, account administrator, and owner account	Sensitive business data

In private applications, if other members need to view content, they can be temporarily authorized to access it by sharing the incident link.

Create Application

You can quickly create an application through the RUM product guide page:

Select Application Type

Select the frontend technology type corresponding to the application, currently supporting JavaScript (JS), Android, iOS, and WeChat Mini Program.

Set Management Team

Specify the management team for this application.

Team members have full operational permissions for this application, non-team members only have read-only access to the configuration of this application.

Configure Geo-information

By default, automatic collection of user geo-location data is enabled. To disable automatic collection of client IP or geo-location data, turn off the geo-information collection switch.See Data Collection.

Configure Alerts

By default, alert notifications are automatically enabled to facilitate timely handling of errors.See Issue Alerts.

SDK Configuration

You can modify parameters and preview the initialization code in real-time in Application Configuration > SDK Configuration to quickly integrate the SDK. The console provides detailed integration guides for each platform:

JavaScript (Web): After configuring parameters like service name, preview the flashcatRum.init() initialization code in real-time
Android: Shows complete integration steps including adding Gradle dependencies (cloud.flashcat:dd-sdk-android-core and cloud.flashcat:dd-sdk-android-rum), initializing the SDK in Application.onCreate() with RUM enabled, and optional WebView tracking integration
iOS: Shows complete integration steps including adding Swift Package Manager dependency (fc-sdk-ios, from version 0.3.0), initializing the SDK in AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions with RUM enabled, and optional WebView tracking integration
WeChat Mini Program: Fill in env, service, version, and sessionSampleRate in the form, and the flashcatRum.init() snippet built on @flashcatcloud/miniprogram-rum is generated and previewed in real time (see “WeChat Mini Program SDK Configuration Assistant” below)

Each platform’s SDK configuration page automatically fills in the current application’s applicationId and clientToken, so you can copy the code directly into your project.

Modifying SDK configuration in application management will not take effect in real-time on integrated clients. All configuration changes need to be updated in your frontend code and redeployed to take effect.

Service Definition

A service is an independent, deployable code repository that maps to a set of pages.

Monolithic Application
Micro-frontend/Multi-page Application

If your application is built as a whole, your RUM application only needs one service name.

flashcatRum.init({
  applicationId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
  clientToken: 'YOUR_CLIENT_TOKEN',
  service: 'my-web-app'  // Single service name
});

If your browser application is built from multiple independent repositories, set different service names for different modules.

// Main application
flashcatRum.init({
  service: 'main-app'
});

// Sub-application A
flashcatRum.init({
  service: 'module-a'
});

WeChat Mini Program SDK Configuration Assistant

When the application type is WeChat Mini Program, Application Configuration > SDK Configuration displays a dedicated Mini Program integration wizard: fill in the form on the left and a ready-to-copy initialization snippet is generated on the right in real time.

Form Fields

Field	Description	Validation	Default
`env`	Environment variable, e.g. `prod`, `dev`	Letters, digits, underscore only; up to 24 chars	—
`service`	Service name; all events default to this tag	Letters, digits, underscore only; up to 24 chars	—
`version`	Version number, useful for filtering during analysis	Letters, digits, `.` only; up to 24 chars	`1.0.0`
`sessionSampleRate`	Session sample rate (percentage)	Integer in range `0–100`	`10`

No save action is needed — the preview snippet updates as you type. applicationId and clientToken are filled in automatically by the system; you do not need to set them by hand.

Two-Step Integration

Add Dependency

Install the SDK in your Mini Program project and run the npm build through WeChat DevTools:

npm install @flashcatcloud/miniprogram-rum

Copy the Initialization Snippet

Use the copy button at the top-right of the right-hand code block, then paste the generated snippet into your Mini Program’s app.js:

import { flashcatRum } from '@flashcatcloud/miniprogram-rum';

flashcatRum.init({
  applicationId: "<APPLICATION_ID>",
  clientToken: "<CLIENT_TOKEN>",
  service: "<SERVICE_NAME>",
  env: "<ENV_NAME>",
  version: "1.0.0",
  sessionSampleRate: 10
});

For the full SDK capabilities, collection toggles, and event reporting model, see WeChat Mini Program SDK Integration.

Link Integration

Link Integration lets you associate RUM events with external systems, such as distributed tracing platforms, log search, object storage that stores crash log packages, or internal troubleshooting systems. After you configure links, RUM generates jump links from the event type and event context and shows them as Related Links in event details. Link Integration is available from the Link Integration tab on the application details page and applies to every application type. Members with the RUM Application Update permission can add, edit, enable, disable, or delete link configurations.

Built-in Tracing

The built-in Tracing card is the default Link Integration entry. It links the trace_id on resource events to your backend tracing system.

Enter the jump link

In the Link Integration tab, find the Tracing card and enter the jump link for your tracing system. You can use the ${trace_id} variable in the link. RUM replaces it with the actual Trace ID from the resource event when it displays the link.For example: https://your-tracing-system.com/trace/${trace_id}

Enable Tracing

After you save the jump link, turn on the Tracing switch. The switch cannot be enabled until a jump link is configured.

Built-in Tracing only matches resource events, and it appears only when the event contains trace_id. The jump link must start with http:// or https://.

Add External Links

Besides built-in Tracing, you can add custom external links for different event types.

Add a link

In the Link Integration tab, select Add external link, then enter the link name and redirect URL template.

Choose applicable event types

Choose the event types where this link should appear. The supported types are Crash, Error, View, Action, Resource, and Session.A crash is an error event: selecting Error matches both regular errors and crashes, while selecting Crash matches only crash events.

Insert variables and preview

Insert variables in the Redirect URL template, such as ${session_id}, ${error_id}, or ${trace_id}. The page previews the final URL with sample values so you can verify that the template matches your external system’s query format.

Setting	Description	Rule
Link name	External system name shown in RUM event details	Required
Applicable event types	Controls which RUM events show the link	Select at least one event type
Redirect URL template	External system URL that can include `${variable}` tokens	Must start with `http://` or `https://`
Per-link switch	Controls whether this external link is active	Disabled links are not shown

Available Variables

Link Integration extracts variables from the current event context and substitutes them into the URL template.

Variable	Description	Common Event Scope
`${session_id}`	Session ID	Session, View, Action, Error, Resource
`${view_id}`	View ID	View, Action, Error, Resource
`${action_id}`	Action ID	Action
`${error_id}`	Error ID	Error, Crash
`${resource_id}`	Resource ID	Resource
`${trace_id}`	Trace ID	Resource, built-in Tracing
`${application_id}`	RUM application ID	All events
`${service}`	Service name	Events that collect `service`
`${version}`	Version	Events that collect `version`
`${env}`	Environment	Events that collect `env`
`${usr_id}`	User ID	Events that collect user information
`${usr_name}`	User name	Events that collect user information
`${usr_email}`	User email	Events that collect user information
`${start_time}`	Start time of the current event detail query	Explorer event details
`${end_time}`	End time of the current event detail query	Explorer event details

Put optional variables in query parameters, for example https://logs.example.com/search?session=${session_id}&error=${error_id}. If a query parameter only contains a missing variable, RUM omits that parameter when generating the link. Missing variables in the URL path stay as the original ${variable} text.

When an event matches an enabled link configuration, you can open the external system from these locations:

RUM Explorer event details: the Related Links dropdown appears in the top-right corner for event details such as Session, View, Action, Error, and Resource
Error event details: matching related links appear as embedded cards in the details area, with copy and open actions
Issue error samples: matching related links appear below the error sample, so you can jump from an Issue directly to logs, tracing, or another troubleshooting system

Privacy Settings

Privacy settings allow you to control the scope of user privacy data collected by the RUM SDK, meeting data compliance requirements for different regions.

Setting	Description	Associated Fields
Geo-location Information	Controls whether to collect user country, province, city, and other geographic information	`@geo_country`, `@geo_province`, `@geo_city`
IP Address	Controls whether to collect user IPv4 and IPv6 addresses	`@geo_ip_v4`, `@geo_ip_v6`

After disabling geo-location or IP address collection, the related filter and analysis dimensions will no longer be available. Please adjust carefully based on your business requirements and compliance needs.

Delete Application

If you no longer need an application, you can find the delete button at the bottom of the “Basic Info” tab in the application details.

After deleting an application:

No new events will be received
The application’s Client Token will be immediately revoked
Previously collected RUM event data can still be manually exported, or you can contact the support team to restore the deleted application

This operation requires the RUM Application Delete permission.
