Overview

To get started with Datadog RUM Browser, you need to:

1. Create an application in Datadog.
2. Instrument your application.

Instrumenting your application allows observability data from your application to be displayed in the Datadog UI.

Instrumentation types

There are two ways to instrument your application: automatic or manual instrumentation.

Auto-Instrumentation

Download the RUM installer or use CLI to install the RUM Injector and automatically add RUM JS to your web app HTML.

SRE and engineering teams without access to frontend code, or teams who need to manage all observability needs centrally, may find this useful for:

• Unlocking performance data across all applications upon setting up RUM
• Holistically monitoring application performance across the organization

To learn more, see Auto-Instrumentation.

Client-side (manual instrumentation)

Add the RUM SDK manually to your application code.

Frontend engineering, mobile engineering, or product teams with access to frontend code may find this method useful for:

• Daily engineering needs (for example: live support, troubleshooting, and health checks for downstream services)
• Product needs (for example: user flow analysis, user segmentation, and feature flag tracking)
• Capturing observability from in-house code or complex functions that aren’t captured by automatic instrumentation

To learn more, see Client-Side Instrumentation.
