Viewing the CloudWatch RUM dashboard

CloudWatch RUM helps you collect data from user sessions about your application's performance, including page load times, Apdex score, browsers and devices used, geolocation of user sessions, and sessions with errors. All of this information is displayed in a dashboard.

To view the RUM dashboard
  1. Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Application Signals, RUM.

    The Overview tab displays information collected by one of the app monitors that you have created.

    The top row of panes displays the following information for this app monitor:

    • Number of page loads

    • Average page load speed

    • Apdex score

    • Status of any alarms associated with the app monitor

    The application performance index (Apdex) score indicates end users' level of satisfaction. Scores range from 0 (least satisfied) to 1 (most satisfied). The scores are based on application performance only. Users are not asked to rate the application. For more information about Apdex scores, see How CloudWatch RUM sets Apdex scores.

    Several of these panes include links that you can use to further examine the data. Choosing any of these links displays a detailed view with Performance, Errors, HTTP requests, Sessions, Events Browsers & Devices, and User Journey tabs at the top of the display.

  3. To focus further, choose the List view tab and then choose the name of the app monitor that you want to focus on. This displays the following tabs for the chosen app monitor.

    • The Performance tab displays page performance information including load times, session information, request information, web vitals, and page loads over time. This view includes controls to toggle the view between focusing on Page loads, Requests, and Location.

    • The Errors tab displays Javascript error information including the error message most frequently seen by users and the devices and browsers with the most errors. This view includes a histogram of the errors and a list view of errors. You can filter the list of errors by user and event details. Choose an error message to see more details.

    • The HTTP requests tab displays HTTP request information including the request URL with most errors and the devices and browsers with the most errors. This tab includes a histogram of the requests, a list view of requests, and a list view of network errors. You can filter the lists by user and event details. Choose a response code or an error message to s ee more details about the request or network error, respectively.

    • The Sessions tab displays session metrics. This tab includes a histogram of session start events and a list view of sessions. You can filter the list of sessions by event type, user details, and event details. Choose a sessionId to see more details about a session.

    • The Events tab displays a histogram of RUM events and a list view of the events. You can filter the list of events by event type, user details, and event details. Choose a RUM event to see the raw event.

    • The Browsers & Devices tab displays information such as the performance and usage of different browsers and devices to access your application. This view includes controls to toggle the view between focusing on Browsers and Devices.

      If you narrow the scope to a single browser, you see the data broken down by browser version.

    • The User Journey tab displays the paths that your customers use to navigate your application. You can see where your customers enter your application and what page they exit your application from. You can also see the paths that they take and the percentage of customers that follow those paths. You can pause on a node to get more details about that page. You can choose a single path to highlight the connections for easier viewing.

  4. (Optional) On any of the first six tabs, you can choose the Pages button and select a page or page group from the list. This narrows down the displayed data to a single page or group of pages of your application. You can also mark pages and page groups in the list as favorites.
