Android Application Data Collection

After collecting application data to Guance, you can perform custom configuration scenarios and configure anomaly detection events through the Guance console.

Data Types

The user access monitoring of Guance includes six data types:

Type Description
session User session information records. During the current session, data related to user pages, resources, actions, errors, and long tasks are recorded based on session dimensions.
view A view record is generated each time a user visits a page in the mobile app. When a user stays on the same page, resource, long task, error, and action records are linked to the relevant RUM view via the view_id attribute.
resource Records of resources loaded when the user accesses a page.
error Exceptions or crashes issued by the mobile application.
long_task For any task in the application that blocks the main thread for longer than a specified duration threshold, a long task event is generated.
action Records of user activities in the mobile application (such as app launches, clicks, swipes, back actions, etc.). Each action is attached with a unique action_id.

Global Attributes

Scenarios for user access monitoring and event alerts can be queried using the following global attributes.

SDK Attributes

Field Type Description
sdk_name string Collector name, fixed names:
df_macos_rum_sdk
df_linux_rum_sdk

sdk_version string Collector version information

Application Attributes

Field Type Description

env string Required, environment field. Possible values: prod/gray/pre/common/local. Where:
prod: Production environment
gray: Gray release environment
pre: Pre-release environment
common: Daily environment
local: Local environment
version string Required, version number.

Custom Attributes

In addition to global attributes, scenes can be built and events configured using custom attributes (SDK supports user-defined tag data) for scenario building and event alerting. Custom attributes are non-global attributes. Through custom attributes, the entire process of user access to the application can be tracked, issues affecting user access identified, and user access performance monitored.
