Browser developer tools display events from unknown initiator
134-
=============================================================
135-
136-
If there are events displayed in your browser developer tools from an unknown
137-
initiator, it is possible that they originate from the RUM instrumentation. This
138-
is because the instrumentation wraps your application code and is responsible
139-
for calling the browser API. As a result, your browser developer tools indicate
140-
that such events are initiated by the RUM agent. For example, the initiator can
141-
display as ``SplunkContextManager`` or ``splunk-otel-web.js``.

Browser developer tools display events from Splunk instrumentation
134+
==================================================================
135+
136+
If there are network requests displayed in your browser developer tools from
137+
Splunk OTel instrumentation such as ``splunk-otel-web.js`` or
138+
``SplunkContextManager``, this is because the application code calls the
139+
instrumentation, which then calls the browser API. As a result, your browser
140+
developer tools indicate that such events are initiated by the RUM agent.
141+
142+
You can identify the original application code initiator by navigating to the
143+
network request and hovering over or clicking the value in the initiator column,
144+
for example, ``splunk-otel-web.js``. This displays additional events from the
145+
stack trace.
146+
147+
It is also possible to configure your browser developer tools to omit the
148+
instrumentation layers from the initiator list. See your browser documentation
149+
for details.
