# Configure Frontend Observability

After instrumenting your application, configure Frontend Observability to control what data you collect, how it’s processed, and how your application behaves.

## Configuration topics

### Control data collection

- [Sampling](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/sampling/) - Reduce data volume by sampling telemetry
- [Filter bots](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/filter-bots/) - Exclude automated traffic from monitoring
- [Exclude endpoints](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/exclude-endpoints/) - Prevent specific URLs from being tracked

### Customize behavior

- [Override service name](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/override-service-name/) - Set custom application identifiers
- [Data proxy](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/data-proxy/) - Route telemetry through a proxy server
- [Process Faro telemetry](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/process-faro-telemetry/) - Transform telemetry before sending
- [Error fingerprinting](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/error-fingerprinting/) - Control how errors are grouped and identified

### Deployment and integration

- [Inject instrumentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/inject-instrumentation/) - Add monitoring via script injection
- [Composable frontends](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/composable-frontends/) - Configure micro-frontends and modular applications
- [Upload source maps](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/sourcemap-uploads/) - Enable readable stack traces in error reports
- [CSP violation tracking](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/configure/csp-violation-tracking/) - Monitor Content Security Policy violations

## Before you begin

Make sure you have:

1. [Instrumented your application](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/get-started/) with the Faro Web SDK
2. Your Frontend Observability instance running and collecting data

## Next steps

After configuring your instrumentation:

- [Visualize and explore data](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/visualize-data/) to analyze user behavior and performance
- [Create alerts](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/create-alerts/) to get notified about issues
- [Integrate with other tools](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-applications/frontend-observability/integrate/) to correlate frontend and backend data
