Session instance

A session instance provides information about a specific user session from within your application. You can find details about that user, retrace their journey through your application, and understand how each page loaded.

User information

A session instance displays the following user information:

• User ID: By default the user ID is anonymous. If you wish to identify the user you can set up user tracking
• Country: The country where the user is located.
• IP Address: The IP address from which the user accessed your application.
• Device: The device type the session took place on.
• Platform: The operating system which the session took place on.
• Browser: The browser which the session took place in.

Session information

Below the user information, the following metrics are displayed about the session:

• Experience Score: Provides an indication of user experience based on average load time. For more information, see our documentation on performance metrics.
• Session Length: The total duration of the user session.
• Page Views: The number of pages visited during the session.
• Average Load Time: The average load time across all pages in the session.
• Average Virtual Page Viewing Time: If the user navigated to any number of virtual pages in the session this measures the average time spent on the page/s (only applicable to Single Page Applications).
• Errors: With Raygun Crash Reporting linked in the same application, you can see a count of errors within the session.

Retracing the user journey

A session instance shows you each page that a user visited in the session, allowing you to retrace a users journey through your application.

Each block shows the following information for each page visited in the session:

• Page Type: This will display whether the page is static or virtual.
• Page Performance Score: This score gives an indication of the page performance based on load time.
• User Experience Score: This score gives an indication of user experience, based on the load time and whether any errors occured (if Raygun Crash Reporting is linked).
• Load Time: The total time it took for the page to load.
• Viewing Time: The total time the user spent viewing the page.
