What if I want to monitor my website that requires login? How should I configure login credentials?

Hi Varkan,

In RUM, you must insert the script in the header and footer of all pages, in the common JS file, or in the initial JS file for single-page applications (SPA). We monitor data based on real-user interactions. Hence, we do not require login credentials for monitoring, and performance tracking happens when a real user logs in to your portal.

Regards,
Deva Priya
