Deploy Browser Monitoring

GermainUX provides three components for monitoring browser-based applications:

Component	Primary purpose	Recommended use
GermainUX RUM JS	Continuously monitor real-user activity, performance, errors, network requests, Session Replay, heatmaps, and business events	Applications where the GermainUX monitoring script can be deployed
GermainUX RUM Extension	Provide Real User Monitoring and Session Replay when JavaScript injection is unavailable or browser-level access is required	Third-party or SaaS applications, root-page monitoring, managed browser deployments, and supported cross-origin frames
GermainUX JS Profiler	Continuously profile and analyze JavaScript execution, browser activity, and performance	Applications requiring deeper JavaScript troubleshooting and function-level performance analysis

The components can be deployed independently or together, depending on the required monitoring coverage.

Choose the deployment method

Requirement	Recommended component
Monitor real users in an application you control	RUM JS
Record and replay user sessions	RUM JS or RUM Extension
Monitor a third-party application that cannot load RUM JS	RUM Extension
Monitor the root browser context of a SaaS application	RUM Extension
Deploy monitoring centrally to managed browsers	RUM Extension
Profile JavaScript execution continuously	JS Profiler
Identify slow or excessively executed JavaScript functions	JS Profiler
Diagnose browser-side code responsible for slow interactions	JS Profiler
Combine user experience with function-level JavaScript evidence	RUM JS or RUM Extension with JS Profiler
Test critical browser workflows proactively	RPA Bot Recorder and Engine

Also update the deployment architecture table:

Component	Where it runs	Purpose
RUM JS	Monitored web application	Captures browser activity, performance, errors, network requests, Session Replay, and business events
RUM Extension	User’s Chrome, Edge, or Firefox browser	Provides browser monitoring when script deployment is unavailable or browser-level access is required
JS Profiler	Supported browser	Continuously profiles JavaScript execution and identifies function-level performance bottlenecks
Germain Enterprise	GermainUX cloud or on-premises environment	Receives, processes, stores, and analyzes browser telemetry
RPA Bot Recorder	Scenario-authoring browser	Records synthetic user workflows
GermainUX Engine	Synthetic or backend environment	Executes synthetic scenarios and monitors supporting systems

And replace the previous Deploy the JS Profiler section with:

Deploy the JS Profiler

Use the GermainUX JS Profiler to continuously monitor and analyze JavaScript execution in a supported browser. The JS Profiler can help identify:

Issue	Details
Slow JavaScript functions	Slow JavaScript functions
Functions consuming excessive execution time	Functions consuming excessive execution time
Repeated or inefficient function calls	Repeated or inefficient function calls
JavaScript activity associated with slow user interactions	JavaScript activity associated with slow user interactions
Browser-side code contributing to freezes or poor responsiveness	Browser-side code contributing to freezes or poor responsiveness
Performance differences across pages, workflows, and application versions	Performance differences across pages, workflows, and application versions

Deployment

Download the GermainUX JS Profiler extension for a supported browser.
Install it manually for selected users or deploy it through an approved enterprise browser-management mechanism.
Configure the GermainUX environment.
Configure the websites and applications to be monitored.
Associate the deployment with the corresponding GermainUX application and profile.
Enable the required JavaScript profiling capabilities.
Open the monitored application and execute representative workflows.
Confirm that JavaScript profiling data is received by GermainUX.
Validate browser performance and data volume before expanding the deployment.

The JS Profiler can operate as a browser-monitoring component in its own right. Deploy it together with RUM JS or the RUM Extension when user activity, Session Replay, and function-level JavaScript evidence must be analyzed in the same operational context. Finally, update the component summary to:
