AI-Assisted Integration (CLAUDE.md)

Add this snippet to your project's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md to automatically integrate the scanner:

## 🔐 Auto-Add: Guardian SBOM Scanner

**AUTO-INTEGRATE** `@codenotary/sbom-scanner` into Node.js projects:

1. `npm install --save-dev @codenotary/sbom-scanner`
2. Add script: `"sbom:scan": "guardian-sbom scan"`
3. Create `.guardian-sbom.json` with `serverUrl` and `environment`
4. Add `GUARDIAN_API_KEY` to CI secrets

**Skip if**: already installed, or user says "skip sbom"

See docs/CLAUDE_SNIPPET.md for the full integration snippet.

APM (Application Performance Monitoring)

New in v2.0.0: Continuous performance monitoring for Node.js applications.

Quick Start (APM)

import express from 'express';
import { guardianAPM } from '@codenotary/sbom-scanner';

const app = express();

const apm = guardianAPM({
  serverUrl: process.env.GUARDIAN_SERVER_URL,
  apiKey: process.env.GUARDIAN_API_KEY,
  appName: 'my-api',
  environment: 'production',
});

// Track all HTTP requests
app.use(apm.middleware());

// Track outgoing service calls (wraps global fetch)
apm.traceDependencies();

// Custom health check (optional)
apm.healthCheck(async () => ({
  healthy: await checkDatabase(),
  checks: { database: 'ok', redis: 'ok' }
}));

app.listen(3000);

APM Configuration

interface APMConfig {
  serverUrl: string;           // Guardian server URL (required)
  apiKey: string;              // API key (required)
  appName: string;             // Application name (required)
  appVersion?: string;         // Version (auto-detected from package.json)
  instanceId?: string;         // Instance ID (auto-generated UUID)
  environment?: string;        // Environment (development/production)
  reportInterval?: number;     // Report interval in ms (default: 600000 = 10 min)
  features?: {
    httpTracking?: boolean;    // Track HTTP requests (default: true)
    performanceMetrics?: boolean; // Collect CPU/memory (default: true)
    uptimeChecks?: boolean;    // Health monitoring (default: true)
    dependencyTracking?: boolean; // Track outgoing calls (default: true)
  };
  sampling?: {
    requests?: number;         // Request sampling rate (0.0-1.0, default: 1.0)
  };
  healthCheck?: () => Promise<HealthCheckResult>;
  debug?: boolean;             // Enable debug logging
}

Metrics Collected

HTTP Metrics

• Total requests and requests per minute
• Error count and error rate
• Latency percentiles (avg, p50, p95, p99, max)
• Status code distribution
• Top endpoints by request count

Performance Metrics

• CPU usage (total, system, user)
• Memory (heap used/total, external, RSS)
• Event loop latency and utilization

Uptime Metrics

• Process uptime
• Health check status and history
• Uptime percentages (24h, 7d, 30d)
• Incident detection (3+ consecutive failures)

Dependencies

• SBOM vulnerability counts (from scans)
• Outgoing service call statistics
• Service dependency graph

APM API

const apm = guardianAPM(config);

// Express middleware for HTTP tracking
app.use(apm.middleware());

// Wrap global fetch to track outgoing calls
apm.traceDependencies();

// Get axios interceptors for outgoing call tracking
const interceptors = apm.getAxiosInterceptors();
axios.interceptors.request.use(interceptors.request);
axios.interceptors.response.use(interceptors.responseSuccess, interceptors.responseError);

// Set custom health check
apm.healthCheck(async () => ({ healthy: true, checks: { db: 'ok' } }));

// Manually track a service call
apm.trackServiceCall('payment-api', 150, true);

// Update SBOM info (automatically done if using SBOM scanner)
apm.setSBOMInfo({
  totalPackages: 150,
  lastScanAt: new Date(),
  vulnerabilities: { critical: 0, high: 2, medium: 5, low: 10 }
});

// Force send a report immediately
await apm.sendReport();

// Get current service call metrics
const calls = apm.getServiceCalls();

// Stop the APM agent
apm.stop();

// Check if agent is running
const isRunning = apm.isRunning();

How It Works

SBOM Scanning

1. SBOM Generation: Uses @cyclonedx/cyclonedx-npm to generate a CycloneDX SBOM from your package-lock.json
2. Submission: Sends the SBOM to your Guardian cPanel server
3. Analysis: Guardian processes the SBOM through Trivy to find vulnerabilities
4. Results: View findings in the Guardian dashboard under "Application Improvements"

APM Monitoring

1. Metrics Collection: Express middleware tracks HTTP requests; collectors gather CPU, memory, and event loop data
2. Health Checks: Periodic health checks (every 60s) with custom check support
3. Dependency Tracking: Wraps fetch/axios to track outgoing service calls
4. Reporting: Background reporter sends aggregated metrics every 10 minutes
5. Dashboard: View performance data in the Guardian APM dashboard

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• npm >= 8.0.0 (for SBOM generation)
• Guardian cPanel server with SBOM and APM endpoints enabled
