Step 1: Customer creates Session Replay S3 Bucket

Currently the RUM session recording can only store recordings in an S3 bucket. Have the customer create an S3 bucket for this purpose and share with you the following:

  1. S3 accessKey and secretKey (these will be used to create a secret on the customers kfuse cluster)

  2. S3 bucketName and awsRegion where the bucket exists

Step 2: Customer creates kfuse-rum-s3 secret on customers kfuse namespace

kubectl create secret generic kfuse-rum-s3 --from-literal=accessKey=<accessKey> --from-literal=secretKey='<secretKey>'

Step 3: Customize the customers environment yaml file to enable RUM

Incorporate the changes similar to PR that enables RUM on Playground and PR that enables RUM menu item on UI. Below is a verbal description of the change within these PRs:

  • Add a global.rum section

  •   rum:
    enabled: true
    
    # This is a list of names and UUIDs. The customer can generate any
    # UUID. The same UUID will need to be referenced in the Kfuse frontend SDK
    # initialization call.
    applications:
      - name: kf-frontend
        id: 944f6a58-dbc2-45ad-bf93-def505aaff62
    
    # only S3 is currently supported
    sessionReplayStorage:
      type: s3
      useSecret: true
      
      # Below secret name references the secret created earlier
      secretName: "kfuse-rum-s3"
      
      # Below references the bucket name and region that customer has
      # created for session replay storage
      s3:
        region: us-west-2
        bucket: rum-session-replay-playground

  • To generate a UUID above you can run command line uuidgen | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'

  • Ensure RUM specific Kafka topics are listed in the customer YAML. You can use the configuration for the events stream as a reference for number of replicas and partitions. We have not done a performance evaluation for RUM so there is no proper guideline at the moment.

  •     - name: kf_rum_session_replay_topic
      partitions: 3
      replicationFactor: 2
    - name: kf_rum_views_topic
      partitions: 3
      replicationFactor: 2
    - name: kf_rum_actions_topic
      partitions: 3
      replicationFactor: 2
    - name: kf_rum_resources_topic
      partitions: 3
      replicationFactor: 2
    - name: kf_rum_longtasks_topic
      partitions: 3
      replicationFactor: 2
    - name: kf_rum_errors_topic
      partitions: 3
      replicationFactor: 2

  • TLS and Ingress configuration. RUM requires a public ingest endpoint that frontend browser applications will post data to. Ensure that the customer has defined the tls section and has a public hostname. Ensure to enable external ingress and external traffic policy:

  • tls:
  enabled: true
  host: playground.kloudfuse.io
  email: admin@kloudfuse.com
  clusterIssuer: playground-letsencrypt-prod
  
ingress:
  controller:
    service:
      external:
        enabled: true
      externalTrafficPolicy: Local

  • Enable RUM under ingester:

  • ingester:
  config:
    rum:
      enabled: true
      # you can ignore the datadog section below from the PR since 
      # this is the default
      datadog:
        proxyToDatadogEnabled: false

  • Add parsing rules under log-parser to accept frontend logs. You can include these rules verbatim along with any existing rules the customer already has

  • Enable RUM under ui:

  • ui:
  config:
    rum:
      enabled: true

That completes the cluster specific changes required. Upgrade the cluster with the above changes and ensure all pods are coming up.

Step 4: Customer instruments their frontend application

The Frontend SDK setup is documented here. Below is the guideline for how customer needs to supply the SDK initialization parameters:

  • applicationId: '<APPLICATION_ID>' - this needs to match the application id defined above under the customer yaml global.rum.applications section

  • clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>' - use empty string

  • site: '<SITE>' - use empty string

  • proxy: '<KFUSE_RUM_ENDPOINT>' - this needs to be https://<customers-kfuse-hostname>/ddrumproxy e.g. for the playground cluster this value will be https://playground.kloudfuse.io/ddrumproxy

  • service: '<APPLICATION_NAME>' - match the application name (should not contain any white-space e.g. kf-frontend)

  • env: 'production' - whatever the customer wants (e.g. test or production or staging etc)

  • version: '1.0.0' - if the customer has a way to identify the version of their frontend application then that version string should come here. Otherwise just use a default like 1.0.0

  • # recommend small number if site has many users
sessionSampleRate: 100

# recommend true to get session capture and replay feature
enableSessionRecording: true,

# recommend true to get frontend logs into their kfuse cluster
enableLogCollection: true,

  • No labels
