Registering the New eG RUM Collector with the eG Manager

Once the collector is installed, you need to register the collector with the eG manager. For this, follow the steps below:

  1. Login to the eG administrative interface.

  2. Select the RUM collectors options from the Miscellaneous tile of the Admin tile menu.

  3. Figure 1 will then appear listing the collectors that pre-exist.

Figure 1 : List of RUM collectors that pre-exist

  1. The eG manager is bundled with a default RUM collector. By default, this default collector will be listed in Figure 1. You can neither modify the details of this collector, nor delete it.  
  2. To add a new collector, click the Add New Collector button in Figure 1.
  3. Figure 2 then appears. In the Nick Name text box of Figure 2, provide a unique name for the new collector. Then, specify the Public URL of the RUM collector. Optionally, you can also provide a Private URL for the RUM collector.

    Note:

    A private URL is mandatory in the following situations:

    • If the web site/web application being managed receives requests from users within a private network; in this case, the browsers used by these intranet users will be able to communicate user experience metrics to the RUM collector, only if the collector is configured with a private URL.

    • If the remote agent monitoring the web site/web application is deployed in a private network; without a private URL, this remote agent will not be able to poll the collector for metrics.

  4. Finally, click the Add button in Figure 2 to add the new collector.
