# Best Practice 1.5 – Implement user activity monitoring
<a name="best-practice-1-5"></a>

Configure your SAP applications to provide information about user activity, for example, response time, number of active users, transaction abandonment rates, and order processing time. Consider both inside-out approaches (monitoring SAP internal dialogue response time) and outside-in approaches (deploying agents or robots at end-user locations geographically) to understand how connectivity plays a role in the experience. Use this information to help understand how the application is used, patterns of usage, and to determine when a response is required due to poor performance.

 **Suggestion 1.5.1 - Implement user experience monitoring from end-user locations** 

Consider outside-in monitoring approaches by deploying user agents or robots at end-user locations geographically to understand how network and connectivity play a role in SAP user experience. Often this type of end-user location-based monitoring can provide insight and early warning of problems not detectable in the central infrastructure and applications.

 Implement Amazon CloudWatch RUM, SAP, or third-party tools which provide end-user experience reporting to measure the responsiveness of your SAP application from end-user locations. For example, SAP provides End-User Experience Monitoring in Solution Manager, and Amazon CloudWatch RUM allows the deployment of monitoring scripts to measure front-end user experience.
