Grafana Faro Web SDK is a highly configurable JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for real user monitoring (RUM) that instruments browser frontend applications to capture observability signals such as performance metrics, logs, exceptions, events, and traces. Collected frontend telemetry can be forwarded to Grafana Alloy, Grafana Cloud, or a custom receiver and correlated with backend and infrastructure data for full-stack observability.

Use cases

  • monitor real user performance of my web app
  • capture frontend errors and exceptions in the browser
  • collect client-side traces and correlate them with backend traces
  • send browser logs to Loki via Grafana
  • track web vitals and user interactions
  • instrument a React application with frontend telemetry
  • forward RUM data to a custom telemetry receiver

When to choose

  • you want real user monitoring for browser applications
  • you use the Grafana LGTM stack or Grafana Cloud and want full-stack observability
  • you need configurable automatic and manual frontend instrumentation
  • you want a React-friendly SDK with tracing and session replay packages

When to avoid

  • you need server-side or mobile application monitoring only
  • you are not using Grafana backends and prefer a standalone RUM vendor
  • you want a zero-dependency minimal script without an observability pipeline
