What can customers do in the RUM explorer?

In the RUM (Real User Monitoring) explorer, customers have the capability to visualize resource loading through the waterfall chart, which provides an insightful graphical representation of how different resources on a web page are loaded over time. This is essential for understanding performance bottlenecks and optimizing the user experience. Additionally, the RUM explorer allows users to see correlated backend APM (Application Performance Management) traces. This correlation offers a comprehensive view of both front-end user interactions and the performance of backend processes, enabling teams to diagnose issues more effectively and ensure that the entire user journey is smooth and efficient.

This feature set is crucial for developers and operations teams as it not only pinpoints where delays might be occurring in the loading of web pages, but also connects these front-end issues to backend processes, allowing for a holistic approach to performance monitoring and troubleshooting. The waterfall chart serves as a powerful tool for gaining insight into the user experience, making it a key aspect of the RUM explorer.
