Does Session-Replay works on Mobile-Session that isn't crash?

[waikeat_chan]

Based on what I search in documentation in blog, it always use the words like session-replay on crashes.

So, just wondering does that means if the mobile-session didn't has any crash the replay won't be captured?

Right now, this is what I see in demo site (no quite is a coincidence or what):

Best Regards,

yes, for mobile session replay currently only is available in conjunction with a crashed session

Does anyone have an example they can share of what Session Replay looks like on a crash?  Should we be able to see screen shots or just the user's actions?

in the crash analysis screen you see:

• the crash stacktrace
• device information
• the crash replay (image sequence with timeline) and a link to the sessions user-actions

@Patrick_H ,

Thanks for confirmation.  Turns out our issue was that the developer was using a local debugger that was intercepting the crash before it sent the session data to Dynatrace.  Now we're seeing exactly what we expected and are very pleased!

@mbowman We are working to offer full mobile Session Replay for native iOS and Android apps. Unfortunately I do not know when exactly it should be available but roughly would be on the second half of CY 2023

@manos-saratsis Thanks for the info!  I know it's still "early", but will we have the option to keep the current behavior of capturing session replay on crashes only?

[Patrick_H]

yes, full session replay will be an additional feature and replay on crash will also remain
