macOS Application Data Collection


Introduction

After application data is collected into TrueWatch, you can use the TrueWatch console to configure custom scenarios and anomaly detection events.

Data Types

Real User Monitoring (RUM) in TrueWatch includes six data types.

Type Description
session User session information record. During the current session, access data related to user pages, resources, actions, errors, and long tasks is collected based on the session dimension.
view A view record is generated each time a user visits a page of the application. While the user stays on the same page, resource, long task, error, and action records are linked to the related RUM view via the view_id attribute.
resource A record of resource information loaded when the user visits a page.
error An exception or crash emitted by the application.
long_task A long task event is generated for any task that blocks the main thread for longer than a specified duration threshold.
action Records user activities in the application (app launch, click, swipe, back, etc.). Each action is attached with a unique action_id.

Global Attributes

Scenario construction and event alerting in RUM can be queried using the following global attributes.

SDK Attributes

sdk_name string Collector name, fixed values:
df_macos_rum_sdk
df_linux_rum_sdk

df_android_rum_sdk
sdk_version string Collector version information

Application Attributes

Field Type Description

Custom Attributes

In addition to global attributes, custom attributes (the SDK supports user-defined custom tag data) can be used to build scenarios and configure event alerts. Custom attributes are not global; they allow you to track the entire user access process, locate and identify affected user access, and monitor user access performance.
