Documentation & Resources - DTRUM API

RR123 — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 13:08:08 GMT

Hi,

With respect to the following links, I am facing a 404 error and unable to access the documentation related to the DTRUM API to gain more information about the Dynatrace RUM API.

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/doc/javascriptapi/doc/interfaces/dtrum_types.DtrumApi.html?_gl=1*fvdpjs*_gcl_au*Mzk0MTY2OTU0LjE3Mzk1NjE4NzQ.*_ga*NDkwNjAzMDE3LjE3Mzk1NjE4NzI.*_ga_1MEMV02JXV*MTc0MzA5Nzg1MC4zNC4xLjE3NDMwOTgwNzAuMC4wLjA.

Official Javascript API Link found in this link: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/api-rum#documentation

Is there any other resource which documents the functions that can be leveraged from the Javascript API in RUM

Thank you. Please let me know if you need any further details.

Do you still see a 404? This was fixed recently.

Is there a way to log message using window.dtRum or we have to use ingest url??

@suhasbothe Dynatrace RUM JavaScript and RUM in general does not have any concept of "sending a log message". You can send errors (dtrum.reportError), custom errors (dtrum.reportCustomError), custom user actions or business events (Dynatrace platform only). Most likely you want to use reportCustomError, but it depends on what you are trying to achieve and how it fits in your Dynatrace deployment.
