Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

#transponder

Already set up an awesome Graphite/statsd monitoring dashboard for your applications? How about your servers? transponder is a super easy to use node daemon to send linux server stats to an existing statsd process. Just install transponder on all your servers and you're away!

###Install

To install transponder, log in to your server and run:

[sudo] npm install -g transponder

###Usage

To start transponder simply use the transponder command from your terminal. The following options are configurable and set as environment variables:

  • HOST - The hostname or IP of the statsd daemon (default is localhost)
  • PORT - The port number of the statsd daemon (default is 8125)
  • INTERVAL - The sample interval, in milliseconds, desired (default is 1000)
  • PREFIX - Optional string to prefix all statsd indices with. Should include a trailing period (default is '').

Example:

HOST=127.0.0.1 PORT=8125 INTERVAL=5000 PREFIX=myprefix. transponder

###Run in the background

You'll probably want this to run in the background, the easiest way to do this is using nohup:

HOST=127.0.0.1 nohup transponder &
