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 🙏

Readme

Node Application Metrics Dashboard

A data visualizer that uses " Node Application Metrics" (appmetrics) to monitor and display Node.js application data as a html web application.

Prerequisites

The Node Application Metrics Dashboard supports all versions of Node.js and io.js supported by 'appmetrics'.

Install

npm install appmetrics-dash-eventloop

Configuration

In order to configure an application to be monitored by appmetrics-dash-eventloop, the following line of code must be added to the application.

var app = require('appmetrics-dash-eventloop').start(config);  

Where the optional config parameter is an options hash as follows:

  • server: A pre-existing http server to use. If not specified one is created.
  • port: The port to use if creating a http server, with default: 3000
  • url: The url for the dashboard, with default: /admin
  • uid: The User ID used to log into the dashboard, with default: 'admin'
  • password: The password used to log into the dashboard, with default 'admin'

This line will do one of 2 things, depending on the monitored application:

  1. If no config is provided, or no server is specified in the config, appmetrics-dash-eventloop will create its own HTTP server (default port 3000).
  2. If a server is provided in the config, appmetrics-dash-eventloop will reuse that server.

Data Visualisation

The data from Node Applicaiton Metrics is visualized in the browser using the following steps:

  1. Run the application you wish to monitor.
  2. Connect to your application via a web browser (default port 3000).
  3. Add the dashboard URL (default '/admin') to the end of the address of the connected application and input the id and password (default: 'admin', 'admin') when prompted.
  4. A set of visual representations such as charts will display realtime and historical data (cpu usage, memory usage and garbage collection data) that has been generated by the application.
  5. You can then select and deselect certain types of information using the Options Menu and clicking Display Selected Information to update the display.
