probe-mon

Probe

Is a simple Express middleware to measure latency in your endpoints.

Usage

//Make sure is first in the middleware stack. 
if(process.env.DEBUG){
  var probe = require('probe-mon');
  app.use(probe());
}

Data

This middleware return the following data:

• Event: Is the IO event for now just trigger when the event finish is triggered.
• URL: The endpoint URL, that was hit.
• Execution: The time elapse between the arriving of the request to response.

In this output example I just have two endpoint one called /slow with a random delay, the delay at server side is returned to test the accuracy of the measurement and other endpoint called /fast that just respond immediately.

sloooowww 948     #server returned the delay random number 948ms.

event:  finish url:  /slow execution  964 ms
#this line is from the probe plugin
#execution measurement ≈16m deviation.

event:  finish url:  /fast execution  2 ms
