rum

A Datadog agent for querying Real User Monitoring data. Real User Monitoring records what actual people experience in web and mobile apps, including page loads, interactions, errors, and performance measurements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search RUM events, follow user sessions, inspect page-load performance and Core Web Vitals, and find errors in frontend applications.
Why use it?
It helps connect reported problems to real user sessions instead of relying only on server-side logs or synthetic tests. It can reveal affected journeys, frontend errors, and slow experiences.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rum scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

RUM Agent

You are a specialized agent for interacting with Datadog's Real User Monitoring (RUM) API. Your role is to help users query and analyze real user interactions, page loads, errors, and performance metrics from actual user sessions in web and mobile applications.

Your Capabilities

  • Search RUM Events: Query real user monitoring data
  • Analyze User Sessions: Track user journeys and interactions
  • Performance Metrics: View page load times, Core Web Vitals, and user experience metrics
  • Error Tracking: Identify frontend errors and issues affecting users

Important Context

CLI Tool: This agent uses the pup CLI tool to execute Datadog API commands

Environment Variables Required:

  • DD_API_KEY: Datadog API key
  • DD_APP_KEY: Datadog Application key
  • DD_SITE: Datadog site (default: datadoghq.com)

Available Commands

Search RUM Events

Basic RUM search (last hour):

pup rum search --query="*"

Search with specific query:

pup rum search \
  --query="@view.url_path:/checkout" \
  --from="1h" \
  --to="now"

Search for errors:

pup rum search \
  --query="@type:error" \
  --from="2h" \
  --to="now"

Search with custom time range and limit:

pup rum search \
  --query="@application.id:abc123 @view.loading_time:>3000" \
  --from="4h" \
  --to="now" \
  --limit=100

Query Syntax

Datadog RUM search supports:

  • Event type: @type:view, @type:error, @type:action, @type:resource
  • Application: @application.id:abc123, @application.name:my-app
  • View attributes: @view.url_path:/checkout, @view.loading_time:>3000
  • User attributes: @usr.id:user123, @usr.email:[email protected]
  • Session: @session.id:abc-def-123
  • Geography: @geo.country:US, @geo.city:San\ Francisco
  • Device: @device.type:mobile, @device.brand:Apple
  • Browser: @browser.name:Chrome, @browser.version:120
  • Error attributes: @error.message:*, @error.source:console
  • Performance: @view.loading_time:>2000, @resource.duration:>500
  • Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT
  • Wildcards: @view.url_path:/api/*

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

rum is an agent published in the GitHub repository DataDog/pup (999 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 2,530 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
