Web vitals RUM

[vytautassugintas]

There is this google web vitals initiative.

I've been wondering if you guys have plans to include core web vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, Cumulative Layout Shift) RUM out of the box in DD sometime in the future?

Hello @vytautassugintas,

We have also seen this initiative, we don't have plans to integrate these specific metrics in the short term but it is definitely something that we keep in mind to provide additional UX metric to our RUM product.

Thanks for pointing that up!

[vytautassugintas]

@bcaudan great! 🎉

Thanks for the answer.

Can we track these ourselves with Datadog's RUM integration?

[bcaudan]

Hi @hamstu,
yes, you could track these yourself and use custom user actions to send the data.

@bcaudan Follow up question - if our RUM config has { ..., resourceSampleRate: 5, sampleRate: 5 } will calls to addUserAction also be sampled at that same rate? Or will we track actions for all users where that code runs?

[BenoitZugmeyer]

Yes, the sampling applies to the whole session, and sampleRate impact all events (resourceSampleRate impact only resource events).

Just a headsup, Web Vitals will soon be available out-of-the-box in RUM. Stay tuned.

Exciting news @BenoitZugmeyer! Would love to know as soon as that's ready. 🤩

That's great to hear, @BenoitZugmeyer! You don't happen to have an update on when that'll go live, do you?

Would love seeing some update @BenoitZugmeyer thank you ❤️

We are still working on the UI and documentation, but the release is really close. If I'm not mistaken, you should already be able to see the three facets in the RUM Explorer (near the bottom of the left column) and add corresponding columns (example). Keep in mind that we still have small issues, and the UI is not polished yet!
