The New RUM Experience currently relies on certain RUM Classic functionalities. Here’s what this means for you.

Enabling the New RUM Experience

You can currently enable the New RUM Experience only if RUM Classic is active. At this time, disabling data ingestion into RUM Classic and fully migrating is not possible.

Configuration

Most configuration settings for the New RUM Experience are based on those already used by RUM Classic. This means that:

  • Changes made in the New RUM Experience also apply to RUM Classic.
  • Conversely, if you modify settings in RUM Classic that are also available in the New RUM Experience, those changes will apply there as well.

Event and session properties are an exception—they have a separate configuration from user action and session properties in RUM Classic.

Monitoring traffic

When the New RUM Experience is enabled, RUM beacons in a new format are sent alongside RUM Classic beacons to the same endpoint.
