If you need to customize how the browser agent collects data, you have two methods: configure the UI, or use APIs to customize the agent instrumentation.
UI configurations
On the Application settings page, you can make these configurations to your setup:
- Proxy agent code and analytics data
- Set up alerts
- Configure APDEX and geography settings
- Filter domains and sub-domains
- Filter AJAX requests
- Group data by URL patterns
- Obfuscate Data
- Rename browser apps
- Disable browser monitoring
- Delete a browser app
Browser session storage
We've consolidated the control for collecting session traces and session replay data within the browser agent. You can now manage all session-level data directly from the Access browser local storage toggle on this settings page.
Important
From browser agent version 1.303.0 and onwards, the Access local storage toggle is being removed from the UI to streamline our privacy and consent features.
The recommended way to manage browser agent data collection and user consent is with the consent mode config. We strongly encourage all users to adopt this new feature. For more information, refer to consent docs.
If you currently have the Access local storage toggle set to
OFF, you will find that the consent mode, session replay, and session trace toggles are also inactive. To enable these features, you must set thecookie_enabledattribute totruevia NerdGraph API. This action will re-activate the toggles in the UI, allowing you to properly configure consent Mode, session replay, and session trace.
Browser APIs
You can also customize your browser agent instrumentation to capture custom traces and events, report specific errors tailored to your needs, and fine-tune data harvest timing for optimal performance. See Using browser APIs to get started.
