Meaning of user experience monitoring log data - Application Real-Time Monitoring Service

This topic describes the data in User Experience Monitoring logs.

Overview

User experience monitoring logs contain detailed tables and aggregate tables.

Details tables: View, Resource, Exception, Action, Custom, Application, and System.

Aggregate table: Session table

The Application and System tables are used only by native App Monitoring.

Terms

Attribute: an index, which is generally of the String type. It is used to group, filter, and aggregate data. It cannot be quantified but has limited enumerability and indexes.
Measure: an index, which is of the number type and can be quantified.
Metadata: the default non-index, which is used to describe data, mainly describes the information of data attributes.

Common attributes

Public properties need to be indexed and are an important part of data filtering and aggregation. They will exist in both parts tables and aggregate tables. In most cases, the value of a common property for a session ID is the same. However, the value of a common property may be different. For example, the value of a common property for a session ID may be different after the account is switched.

Schedule Design

View table

An interactive user view that focuses on page view and related performance data. View is a classification of views and is divided into:

PV: used to calculate the number of views accessed. Each time a view is accessed, the PV must be reported. It is the basic data that is associated with various events and calculates various time series metrics.
Webvitals: based on the three major indicators of view performance proposed by Google. Due to the large difference in collection timing and clear standard boundaries, separate storage is adopted.
Perf: a common performance data of views, which is a relatively miscellaneous indicator category. Based on the Perfmonce standard, this type focuses on the objective performance of the page, and the performance that can be changed subjectively is not included ().
Note
Look at the performance of subjective changes such as: page stay duration. From a definition point of view, the page stay duration is a kind of user behavior data, which is more reasonable to manage in Action.

Webvitals and Perf are optional reporting types, and native views may not be applicable.

Measures

Property	Type	Metric	Description
view.time_spent	long (ms)	Page	Time spent on the current view.
view.largest_contentful_paint	long (ms)	Maximum Content Rendering Duration	The moment in the page load timeline at which the largest DOM object in view (visible on the screen) is rendered. Greater than 2.5 seconds is marked as slow.
view.first_input_delay	long (ms)	First Input Delay Duration	The time elapsed between the user's first interaction with the page and the browser's response.
view.cumulative_layout_shift	long	Cumulative Layout Configuration Offset	Quantifies unexpected page movement due to dynamically loaded content, such as third-party ads, where 0 means no change has occurred.
view.first_contentful_paint	long (ms)	The duration of the first content rendering (white screen time)	The time when the FCP browser first renders the text, image (including the background image), non-white Canvas, or SVG.
view.dom_interactive	long (ms)	The Time to Interactive (TTI).	The time when the content can be interacted.
view.dom_content_loaded	long (ms)	HTML Full Load Time (DOM Ready Duration)	event is fired when the initial HTML document is fully loaded and parsed without waiting for non-rendering blocking stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading.

view.load_event	long (ms)	The time consumed to completely load the page.	The event that fires when the page is fully loaded. Usually triggers for additional application logic. Note Page load times of less than 2 seconds are considered good, and up to 4 seconds are acceptable. A page loading time of more than 5 seconds not only affects the search engine ranking of the website, but also seriously affects the user experience.

Metadata

Attribute	Type	Description
view.referrer	string	The URL of the previous web page from which to link to the currently requested page.
view.url	string	The URL corresponding to the view. The complete URL contains the scheme protocol, host, path, query, and hash parts.
view.timing_data	string	The PerformanceResourceTiming JSONString.
view.snapshots	string	View snapshot JSONString, which is mainly used for native apps.

Resource table

Resource events are generalized for network requests and are a RUM event type developed based on the HTTP protocol and the Perfmonce standard. Because Perfmonce has many differences in different platform environments, RUM has made corrections for these differences.

From the perspective of business and habits, resources are divided into two categories: static resources and APIs. In essence, static resources and APIs are the same. They are resources requested by HTTP, but there are major differences in concerns, as follows:

Static resources (resource.type is css, javascript, image, media, etc.) focus on resource type, Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network, network stability, etc. If the resource.type parameter is set to navigation, the resource data of the associated view (with the same view.id) is returned.
APIs (resource.type is XHR, fetch, and API) pay more attention to the association with the server, such as response codes and response content, and have strong association with tracing.
XHR and fetch mainly occur in browsers and WebViews, or in scenarios with similar regularity.
API is the default value when you are unsure of the API type, which is common in native and applet cases.

In most cases, a resource only focuses on the actual network request, and does not report the recommend filter before reporting the information obtained from the cache. For situations that do have reporting value (such as calculating the cache hit ratio and resource usage), you need to cache mark this type to distinguish the resources that initiate network requests.
