Overview

To get started with Datadog RUM Browser, you need to follow these key steps:

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 main approaches to instrument your application: automatic or custom instrumentation.

Auto-instrumentation

Automatically add RUM JS to your web app HTML with minimal steps by installing the RUM injector by downloading the RUM Installer or by CLI (running a command).

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

To learn more, see client-side instrumentation.
