Hey @Allen_Wei, Have you looked into RUM [Real User Monitoring (RUM) | APM User Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/apm-rum.html) yet? ---

Hey @Allen_Wei, what sort of frontend events are you looking to track? ---

Hi @Allen_Wei, Thanks for reaching out! Do you mean to have the possibility of sending custom logs on demand? If you mean that, unfortunately, we don't have that feature at the moment. The "closest" things that we have are: - [custom transactions](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/rum-js/master/custom-transactions.html). (in case you want to log/measure certain flows) - [global labels](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/rum-js/5.x/agent-api.html#apm-add-labels) and [transaction labels](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/rum-js/5.x/transaction-api.html#transaction-add-labels) But as you can see that is not the same due to the fact that at the end of the day everything ends linked to a transaction/error. As mentioned above, we cannot send logs as an "independent entity" at the moment. Btw, when it comes to `User behavior event tracking` the agent intercepts user clicks to create transactions. More info [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/rum-js/5.x/intro.html#features) and [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/rum-js/5.x/supported-technologies.html#user-interactions) Let me know if this helps you. Thanks, Alberto ---

Hi @Alberto_Delgado , The document is very helpful. add span to transaction is definitely help. Instead of add span to the transaction, we'd like use it as log. 1. We don't want to add those event to transaction 2. Span API does not accept more customized data. This is more like [JavaScript Logging](https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/loggly/content/admin/javascript.htm?cshid=loggly_javascript) ---
