Real User Monitoring FAQs

Everything you need to know about Real User Monitoring

How is groundcover’s real user monitoring different?

One of the biggest advantages of using groundcover for RUM is keeping sensitive user data in-house. Real User Monitoring data is often rich with user details - page URLs, user IDs or emails, behavior patterns, maybe even form inputs. SaaS monitoring tools require, by definition, that all that data gets sent to a third-party cloud. However, groundcover’s BYOC architecture means we run in your environment, so your RUM data - just like all other backend data such as logs, traces, and metrics - never leaves your infrastructure.

How does groundcover’s RUM work?

We built a custom JavaScript SDK specifically for capturing frontend data. You simply add it to your web app, and it will automatically instrument the app to collect all relevant events and metrics. Once collected in the browser, RUM data is sent to your groundcover BYOC backend where it flows into the existing observability data pipeline, feeding it into the same storage and analysis systems that already hold your logs, traces, and metrics.

How can frontend observability benefit your organization?

In short, adding frontend observability means you’re no longer flying blind on the client side. You have concrete data on what users see and do. This bridges the traditional gap between frontend developers, DevOps engineers, and SREs – everyone gets a shared view of the entire stack, client to server. When an incident occurs, you can now answer “was it the frontend or the backend?” with confidence and solve problems faster.

How much does groundcover RUM cost?

Real-User Monitoring requires a groundcover inCloud setup. It is therefore only available to our Enterprise customers. Check out our pricing page for more information.
