Browser Snapshots

When Browser RUM is enabled, the JavaScript agent collects browser snapshots for:

• every base page (including virtual pages), iframe, and Ajax request; these serve as a heartbeat snapshot
• the slowest page by every region, every device and every browser
• unique JavaScript errors; identified by script name and line number
• unique Ajax errors; identified by the HTTP error code in the Ajax response

For more information about browser snapshot collection, see Configure Browser Snapshot Collection.
