Custom Tracking

Introduction

TrueWatch allows you to create tracking tasks through RUM to monitor custom tracing paths in real-time. By pre-defining tracing paths, you can filter trace data, accurately query user access experiences, and promptly identify vulnerabilities, anomalies, and risks.

Application Support

The tracking feature currently only supports Web, Android, and iOS applications.

Create Tracking

In the RUM section of the TrueWatch workspace, click on the Application Name to enter the specified application, and then create a new tracking path via Tracking.

When Creating Tracking, you need to set the name and fields, and complete the configuration after generating the tracking ID.

Field Description
Tracking Name The name of the current tracking task. Supports mixed Chinese and English, underscores as separators, no other special characters, and up to 64 characters.
Tags Define trace fields. Supports selecting tags (key:value) under the current application (app_id) via a dropdown, supports multiple selections.
Tracking ID A unique tracking ID generated by the system, supports one-click copy.
Integration Method After generating the tracking ID, you need to integrate the code in the application based on the tracking ID information.

Manage Tracking Tasks

After creating a tracking task, it is Started by default. You can view performance data for the specified tracking ID in the Session Explorer of the current application; you can also click on the tracking Name to view the data generated by that tracking.
