process-watcher
It is responsible for:
Listen to all the nodejs processes.
Send SIGHUP to the process, which didn't have any throughput of events within 30 seconds.
Send SIGKILL to the process, which didn't die after getting SIGHUP withing 30 seconds.
Send SIGKILL to the process, which stopped sending status updates for 60 seconds.
Write following metrics for respective events described above.
- watcher.proc.died: Incremented when process has died for any reason, potentially caused by SIGKILL or other means.
- watcher.proc.graceful: Incremented if SIGHUP was sent to process.
- watcher.proc.killed: Incremented when watcher sends the SIGKILL to the process.
- watcher.reqcpu: Metric demonstrating an average of how many CPU jiffies per request process consumes.
Note: process-watcher depends on monitr to provide status of worker process. For every worker, monitr needs to be started. For more details on monitr, please refer - https://github.com/yahoo/monitr/blob/master/README.md and for code example refer to https://github.com/yahoo/monitr/blob/master/examples/monitor_me.js.
install
With npm do:
npm install process-watcher
usage
var watcher = require('process-watcher');
var watcher_instance = new watcher.Watcher({ metric : watcher_metric, config : watcher_config });
example
var watcher = require('process-watcher');
/*
* Dummy metric monitoring object.
*/
var watcher_metric = {
/**
* Increments metric
*/
increment : function (name, v) {
// Add implementation as necessary
},
/**
* Set the metric or multiple metrics at the same time.
* */
set : function (names, v) {
// Add implementation as necessary
}
};
