What is the first step in configuring Real User Monitoring for XHR actions?

Selecting the application from the navigation menu is the first crucial step in configuring Real User Monitoring (RUM) for XMLHTTPRequests (XHR) actions. This action establishes the context for the monitoring setup, allowing you to focus on the specific application you want to monitor. By choosing the correct application, you enable the Dynatrace platform to capture and analyze performance metrics related to user interactions, including those generated by XHR actions.

Once the application is selected, you can proceed with further configuration steps, such as creating monitoring rules or adjusting domain settings, but the foundational step is ensuring that you're monitoring the right application within the navigation structure of Dynatrace. This initial selection helps streamline the process and ensures relevant data is collected for performance analysis.
