The purpose of Real User Monitoring is to provide transparency about the usage (executions) and the performance (response times) of user interactions. It supports the monitoring request executions from different platforms with a unified user experience using a common look-and-feel and handling pattern. 

The basic concept is to get all user interactions and the relevant server requests which are the correlated in the Real User Monitoring application. Request executions are rated not based on fixed thresholds but on historical values.
