These metrics are currently available only in the Real-Time DX grids but will soon be available also in reports.
Prerequisites
- Real-Time DX Agents and Monitors must be running Real-Time DX version 9.0.5.
- The monitored machines must have the extension deployed for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge as described below.
Extension Download and Deploy
Each monitored machine must have the extension for Chrome or Microsoft Edge installed with the relevant browser.
Download the extension from the official Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge stores:
- Google Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/browser-performance-monit/kaocoehllbimbaphfmhajjhegdmhjaib
- Microsoft Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/browser-performance-monit/fifkbnnbnhaohlojkbkphnngmclbgofh
Deploy Extension via Group Policy
One way to distribute the extension to domain-joined machines is by setting up a Group Policy using Administrative Templates. Refer to the official Microsoft or Google Chrome documentation for details.
However you deploy the extensions, a browser restart on the monitored machine may be required.

- Browser URL Domain
- Browser URL
- Browser Tab Title
You can find these metrics in the Processes view.
