Client-Side Collection via Real User Monitoring (RUM) rum
You can leverage the Real User Monitoring (RUM) Data Service to enable client-side collection for AEM as a Cloud Service.
Real User Monitoring (RUM) Data Service offers a more precise reflection of user interactions, ensuring a reliable measure of website engagement. It is a great opportunity to gain advanced insights into your page performance. This is beneficial for customers who use either Adobe-managed CDN or non-Adobe managed CDN. For customers using a non-Adobe managed CDN, automated traffic reporting can now be enabled for them, thus removing the need to share any traffic report with Adobe.
