Effective monitoring transcends basic dashboard setups; it requires probing beyond known variables to uncover unknown unknowns that illuminate potential issues before they are reported. By aggregating and contextualizing diverse data attributes, teams can analyze effects dynamically, allowing for rapid answers to critical questions regarding user impact, browser behavior, device performance, and network conditions. This approach enables organizations to identify spikes and anomalies, leading to a proactive stance in incident management and enhancing overall customer experience.
One of the fastest areas of growth in observability is frontend observability, or real user monitoring. This is the practice of monitoring and analyzing the performance, behavior, and user experience of web applications from the user’s perspective.
