Performance measurement dashboard with configurable metrics and end-point monitoring. Ideally suited to API microservices.
Getting Started
IMPORTANT This should only be used to monitor servers and services that you have responsibility for.
- Clone or download the project
- Modify the
measurements.json
as required (see below) - Run
npm install
to get all the dependencies - Run
npm start
to start the server - Point the browser at the server (http://localhost:4000)
Prerequisites
- node 12.x +
- npm 7.x +
Configuring measurements.json
- Edit the existing file
- Any number of measurements can be added, but may impact performance and usability if you have too many
- Existing measurements for local CPU and memory are included
- You can measure the performance of any URL:
- use
/api/proxy/url?url=www.example.com
as the url - use
response
as the value - If you want to record any other metric(s) from an API endpoint, create a new .js file in proxy as a copy of one of the existing files and include the metric(s) you want in the JSON response. The example
random_number.js
gets a random number from the remote CSRNG (https://csrng.net) site and parses the JSON response to display on the dashboard
Each measurement has the following keys:
"name": "designs94.com spark", // name of the chart
"location": "board4", // location on the page
"url": "/api/proxy/url?url=http://designs94.com", // url to call
"value": "response", // value to get from JSON response [optional] [default: response time, ms]
"chartType": "spark", // 'spark' line or 'gauge'
"max": 300, // upper limit of chart [optional] [default:100]
"threshold": 250, // alerting threshold [optional] [default:100]
"data": [] //required for chartType = spark
Using for your project
- Follow the steps in getting started
- Disconnect the git repo with
git init
- Add your own git repo using
git remote add origin [url]
- Push to your repo with
git push --set-upstream origin master
- Change the links in this readme.md file as required
- Configure the measurements.json as needed
Running the tests
