When should Agentless RUM be utilized?

Agentless Real User Monitoring (RUM) is designed for scenarios where installing an agent is not feasible or desired. This is particularly applicable when the host does not have OneAgent installed. Agentless RUM captures user interactions with web applications without requiring any installation of Dynatrace agents, making it suitable for environments where system control is limited or strict compliance protocols prevent agent deployment.

In scenarios where an environment or application is highly restrictive or legacy, using Agentless RUM allows for the collection of performance data without the need for agent installations, thereby providing valuable insights into user experiences and application performance without altering the system configurations. This option maximizes flexibility and minimizes operational overhead, making it ideal for monitoring web applications in such contexts.
