In the realm of Nodejs applications, a recurring challenge we encounter relates to memory leaks and overall memory utilization. This issue assumes particular significance when developing applications destined for deployment in the cloud, whether as serverless functions, containers, or virtual machines. In such scenarios, excessive memory consumption can disrupt application performance, potentially leading to crashes and increased operational costs.
To mitigate these concerns, it is imperative to monitor the memory usage of our Nodejs applications and implement a robust tracking system with predefined thresholds. This proactive approach ensures ongoing performance awareness. For instance, if memory usage exceeds a predetermined threshold, such as 80 percent, immediate corrective actions can be taken to preempt more significant issues.
To address this, we introduce Palzin Track, a potent event tracking tool seamlessly compatible with Nodejs. With Palzin Track, you gain the capability to monitor various application events in real-time, including real-time tracking of memory usage. Moreover, you can configure notification rules to promptly alert your team and yourself when memory usage surpasses specified thresholds via push notifications. This vigilance ensures that you maintain a constant pulse on your application's performance, facilitating swift responses when necessary.
Connect Palzin Track to NodeJs
You can use the following code snippets to track memory usage in your NodeJs application. Please don't forget to replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your API token and update the project and channel names.
Using NodeJs with Axios
var axios = require('axios');
var data = JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "status",
"event": "High Memory Usage",
"description": "Memory usage has exceeded the threshold.",
"icon": "🚨",
"notify": true
});
var config = {
method: 'post',
url: 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
},
data : data
};
axios(config)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
Using NodeJs with Native
var https = require('follow-redirects').https;
var fs = require('fs');
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
'hostname': 'palzin.live',
'path': '/api/v1/log',
'headers': {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
},
'maxRedirects': 20
};
var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
var chunks = \[\];
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", function (chunk) {
var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
console.log(body.toString());
});
res.on("error", function (error) {
console.error(error);
});
});
var postData = JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "status",
"event": "High Memory Usage",
"description": "Memory usage has exceeded the threshold.",
"icon": "🚨",
"notify": true
});
req.write(postData);
req.end();
Using NodeJs with Request
var request = require('request');
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
'url': 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log',
'headers': {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "status",
"event": "High Memory Usage",
"description": "Memory usage has exceeded the threshold.",
"icon": "🚨",
"notify": true
})
};
request(options, function (error, response) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
console.log(response.body);
});
Using NodeJs with Unirest
var unirest = require('unirest');
var req = unirest('POST', 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log')
.headers({
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
})
.send(JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "status",
"event": "High Memory Usage",
"description": "Memory usage has exceeded the threshold.",
"icon": "🚨",
"notify": true
}))
.end(function (res) {
if (res.error) throw new Error(res.error);
console.log(res.raw_body);
});
