Real User Monitoring (RUM)
Adobe Experience Manager uses Real Use Monitoring (RUM) to instrument operations data to understand checkpoints on how a site functions and performs on Adobe Experience Manager-powered sites. RUM data can be used to diagnose performance issues, and to measure the effectiveness of experiments. RUM preserves the privacy of visitors through sampling (only a small portion of all page views will be monitored) and judicious exclusion of all personally identifiable information (PII).
