What is required to set up Mobile RUM?

To set up Mobile Real User Monitoring (RUM), the key requirement is the integration of the Dynatrace Software Development Kit (SDK) into mobile applications. This integration allows the Dynatrace platform to gather performance data and user interactions directly from the mobile app itself. By embedding the SDK, developers enable the application to report metrics such as page views, API calls, and user journey paths, which are essential for analyzing the app's performance and user experience.

This integration is crucial because it establishes a direct channel for data collection that provides insight into how users interact with the app, the performance levels they experience, and where potential issues may arise. Without this SDK integration, Dynatrace would not be able to capture the necessary data to provide meaningful insights into the app's performance from a user's perspective.

The other options do not align with the core requirement for setting up Mobile RUM. Although synthetic monitors can complement mobile RUM by simulating user interactions, they do not replace the need for real user data collected through the SDK. Likewise, while dedicated servers may be relevant in broader contexts, they are not a specific requirement for Mobile RUM setup. Manual user testing, while valuable for understanding user behavior, is not a technical requirement for establishing Mobile
