MiniOps

MiniOps is a dependency free in memory operations monitor and dashboard. MiniOps is not a full blown operations monitor and does not want to be this but gives you a glimpse on what's currently going on in your restify services.

MiniOps gives you an overview of

• How many requests were executed with a 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx HTTP status code
• Hourly statistics of requests executed with a 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx HTTP status code
• The last 100 error messages

MiniOps is dependency free so no persistence store (database) is needed but statistics are transient and will vanish with every service restart!

Using the dashboard

    // TODO: Set MiniOps data hub URL here

Usage

To use MiniOps in your restify services you need to use jsonp middleware in your restify project and a MiniOps recorder and a data hub to your restify project.

var restify = require('restify');
var MiniOps = require('../index');

var server = restify.createServer();
server.use(restify.jsonp());

// Register routes
...

// Create a MiniOps instance
var miniOps = new MiniOps();

// Register MiniOps data hub
server.get('/ops', miniOps.dataHub());

// Register MiniOps recorder
server.on('after', miniOps.recorder());

server.listen(8080, function() {
    console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});
