Digital Experience (RUM)

RUM Overview

5 minutes

In this exercise, you’ll open the RUM Overview dashboard. The data you’ll see here was generated and also includes data from all the attendee’s including yourself — it captures the browsing and shopping everyone did in the Astronomy Shop earlier, now surfaced as real user metrics like page views, errors, and load performance. This is your chance to see your own session through the lens of Real User Monitoring.

  • The Real User Monitoring (RUM) Overview dashboard in Splunk Observability Cloud provides visibility into how real users experience your web applications. It captures browser-side performance metrics, JavaScript errors, and network request failures as they occur in actual user sessions. The dashboard surfaces Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) to measure page load performance, displays error trends over time, and shows recent alerts, giving frontend teams the insights needed to identify and resolve issues affecting end-user experience.
