How UXM Works (Data Flow & Components)
UXM’s operation can be understood as a continuous cycle of data collection, transmission, storage, analysis, and visualization.
Data Collection
- Web Agent: Injected into web pages to capture page load times, browser metrics, navigation events, and AJAX performance.
- Endpoint/ Desktop Agent: Installed on user devices to collect system metrics, process and application usage, crash data, and network statistics.
- Synthetic Monitoring: Performs scheduled transactions and availability checks to proactively identify service disruptions.
Data Transport and Ingestion
- Agents send telemetry securely to the ingestion layer using HTTPS or encrypted channels.
- The ingestion system validates and buffers incoming data, ensuring reliable delivery even in high-volume environments.
- In distributed or on-premises setups, message brokers and forwarders handle load distribution and scalability.
Data Storage and Processing
- Collected data is indexed and structured for fast querying and correlation.
- Summary indexes and rollups are created for long-term trend analysis and performance optimization.
- Built-in data models power dashboards and analytical visualizations for faster insights.
Visualization and Analytics
- UXM dashboards display key performance indicators such as application latency, endpoint stability, user activity, and connectivity quality.
- Alerting mechanisms notify teams of performance degradation, system instability, or emerging anomalies.
- Correlation across user, device, and application data enables end-to-end root-cause analysis.
Scalability and Maintenance
- The platform scales horizontally to support tens of thousands of endpoints and millions of events per day.
- Monitoring and self-health dashboards ensure all components function optimally, and data ingestion remains uninterrupted.
In essence, UXM functions as a unified observability ecosystem — from the endpoint and user interface to the backend infrastructure — providing a single source of truth for digital experience and operational intelligence.
