Elastic has announced new features in its Observability 7.10 release, focusing on enhancing frontend user experience monitoring and introducing synthetic user journey capabilities. The update includes a User Experience app that incorporates Google's Core Web Vitals, which evaluates loading performance, visual stability, and interactivity, crucial for SEO rankings set to change in May 2021. The app offers tools to analyze user data through filters and breakdowns, identifying performance outliers and specific user cohorts, with a powerful URL filter for targeted analysis. Additionally, the release debuts an experimental real browser-based synthetic monitoring agent, allowing users to script and test multistep journeys using JavaScript in Playwright, aimed at improving site functionality and availability. Both features indicate a commitment to expanding capabilities with upcoming releases, aimed at providing insights into performance impacts on user behavior and achieving quantifiable business outcomes. Users can access these tools via the Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud or by downloading the Elastic Stack.
