Process Monitoring in N|Solid [2/10] The best APM for Node, layer by layer.

When we are executing an application with a significant number of processes, we cannot afford to stop the operation to review what is happening outside of production, for this reason, a tool that allows us to have greater observability and a level of detail is key in the management of our project.

With N|Solid our purpose is to track in production what is happening with your application by monitoring and analyzing the information in real-time, generating reports, and thus giving you the tools to take actions to mitigate risks, reduce downtime, or invest more development time.

As a developer, If you detect an issue in your application, without a doubt the first approach will be to understand what is happening, this means taking a closer look at the Processes. In N|Solid, through the Scatter Plot (Each process is represented by different colored points on a scatter plot) of the application, you can review the Heap Used, and CPU Average.

Depending on the type of application you probably want to explore other metrics; For example, if your application is a REST API it will receive a lot of requests, you would switch your views to HTTP Request & Client request count. This gives you good insights into the behavior of your application.

You can also change the view to understand many other aspects of the application including; the 5-minute Load Average, Active Handles, CPU Used (%), and more. Further, you can see a detail of how the process is behaving over a period of time and use different graphs to showcase behavior.

When you select a specific process, we have the general status where it informs us that ten vulnerabilities have been found. And we can see the graphs by the main seven charts that measure taking the raw data.
