GermainUX provides two primary deployment approaches for monitoring the Power BI browser experience: * **RUM JS** * **RUM Browser Extension** Select the deployment method appropriate for your Power BI environment and access requirements. ### Monitoring Options | Power BI Access Point | GermainUX Monitoring | | - | - | | Browser / User Interface | Real User Monitoring, Session Replay, user activity, errors, and performance via RUM JS | | Browser without direct JavaScript injection | Real User Monitoring via RUM Browser Extension | | JavaScript | Advanced JavaScript troubleshooting and profiling via JS Profiler | | Synthetic User Journeys | Proactive workflow and availability monitoring via RPA Bot Recorder | | Supporting Systems | Additional observability, analytics, and automation via Engine | ## Option 1 — Deploy RUM JS Use GermainUX RUM JS when JavaScript can be deployed within the web application used to access Power BI. ### 1. Start the RUM JS Wizard From Germain Workspace, navigate to: Left Menu Wizards Standard HTML ![Inject Germain RUM JS scripts into Power BI Web Template via Standard HTML Wizard](https://mintcdn.com/germain-ux/hPK2RwO7wyn44bNw/images/main/deploying-germainux-monitoring-for-microsoft-power-bi-rum-js-and-browser-extension-options/image-20220428-092412.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hPK2RwO7wyn44bNw\&q=85\&s=753b3092bbaa89df5c828968b681964a) Inject Germain RUM JS scripts into Power BI Web Template via Standard HTML Wizard Use the Wizard to create the monitoring profile and generate the GermainUX RUM JS deployment instructions. ### 2. Configure the Application Configure the Power BI application you want to monitor. Define the appropriate: * Application Name * Application URL * UX Monitoring Profile ![Deploying GermainUX Monitoring for Microsoft Power BI: RUM JS and Browser Extension Options: 2. Configure the Application](https://mintcdn.com/germain-ux/hPK2RwO7wyn44bNw/images/main/deploying-germainux-monitoring-for-microsoft-power-bi-rum-js-and-browser-extension-options/image-20210318-144929.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hPK2RwO7wyn44bNw\&q=85\&s=ff36cc342fff60c009ab283d1200f0d2) The monitoring profile identifies the Power BI application within GermainUX analytics, Session Replay, dashboards, reports, and alerts. ### 3. Deploy RUM JS Download or copy the RUM JS configuration generated by the Wizard. Inject the GermainUX RUM JS scripts into the web application or template through which Power BI is accessed. The deployment must allow the GermainUX JavaScript to execute within the user's browser and communicate with the GermainUX environment. ### 4. Validate RUM JS Open the monitored Power BI application and perform a representative user journey. For example: Open Power BI Open Dashboard Load Report Interact with Visualization Verify in GermainUX that: * The user session is captured * User interactions are visible * Session Replay is available * Performance telemetry is received * Browser and JavaScript errors are captured * Network activity is monitored * The session is associated with the correct application ## Option 2 — Deploy the RUM Browser Extension Use the **GermainUX RUM Browser Extension** when monitoring through direct RUM JS injection is not appropriate or available. The GermainUX browser extension supports monitored browser environments including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. ### 1. Install the Browser Extension Install the appropriate GermainUX RUM Browser Extension on the browsers used to access the monitored Power BI application. ### 2. Configure the GermainUX Instance Open the extension configuration and specify: **Germain URL** Enter the base URL of your GermainUX environment. This tells the browser extension where monitored telemetry should be sent. ### 3. Add the Power BI Website Click: **Add New Website** Configure: **Website URL** \ The base URL of the website containing the Power BI application you want to monitor. **Application Name** \ The application name that will identify the Power BI application within GermainUX. **Profile Name** \ The corresponding UX Monitoring Profile configured in GermainUX. The Profile Name in the browser extension must correspond to the monitoring profile configured in GermainUX. ### 4. Refresh Power BI After configuring the extension, refresh the Power BI page. The browser extension will begin monitoring the configured application. ### 5. Validate Browser Extension Monitoring Perform a representative Power BI user journey. For example: Open Power BI Navigate Open Report Interact with Dashboard Verify that the expected user-experience telemetry is received by GermainUX and associated with the correct application and monitoring profile. ### Enable Advanced JavaScript Analysis — Optional Deploy the **GermainUX JS Profiler** when deeper browser-side performance diagnostics are required. Use JavaScript profiling when Real User Monitoring identifies an issue requiring deeper analysis of JavaScript execution. ### Configure Synthetic Monitoring — Optional Use the **GermainUX RPA Bot Recorder** to proactively monitor critical Power BI user journeys. For example: Launch Power BI Authenticate Open Report Execute Interaction Validate Result Synthetic monitoring can continuously validate availability, performance, and critical Power BI workflows. ### Review Data Privacy Before enabling production monitoring, review the information captured from Power BI users. Configure appropriate privacy controls for: * User information * Authentication information * Business data * Report content * Dashboard content * Sensitive application information Validate the appropriate masking and exclusion controls before enabling production monitoring. ### Next Steps Once Power BI monitoring is deployed: **1. Configure the UX Monitoring Profile** **2. Configure privacy and exclusions** **3. Configure Power BI-specific monitoring rules** **4. Configure dashboards and reports** **5. Configure alerts and SLA thresholds** **6. Customize RCA and tracing where required** **7. Configure automation** See **Configure Monitoring for Microsoft Power BI** for configuration instructions. ### Get More Information The appropriate deployment method depends on how Power BI is accessed and whether RUM JS can be deployed within the monitored web environment. The GermainUX team can help determine and configure the appropriate deployment method for your Power BI environment. ### Get More Information Magento environments can vary significantly depending on storefront customization, extensions, integrations, infrastructure, and security requirements.
