Migrate Custom Events & Trace from AppInsights to Dynatrace (Client Side JS)

[izi-p]

Hello,

We are migrating our front-end application from appInsights to Dynatrace.

We had some custom traces & events on appInsights that were sent to appInsights programmatically in the front-end code. (we called appInsights.trackEvent() in the front-end js code). It helped us debug some special use cases.

We could find these events and traces in appInsights.

We would like to migrate this behavior to Dynatrace. What is the proper way to do this with Dynatrace? Is there a way on front-end js application to send these kind of information to Dynatrace programatically?

Thank you,

Pierre

Any solution to solve this issue, or documentation or something to help ! @Yosi_Neuman do you have any experience about that, that's a current issue for my customer.

Hi @rthimothee 

Dynatrace enables you to extend its default Real User Monitoring functionality using the RUM JavaScript API. It allows you to create custom user actions, report errors, enable Session Replay, and much more.

The RUM JavaScript API comes included in the RUM JavaScript, which is injected automatically by OneAgent.

Please check RUM JavaScript API Capabilities and DtrumApi documentation for more information
