Package Exports

dtrace-express

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (dtrace-express) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

usage

There are two ways to instrument your express application. The first is to raise single events and allow them to be interpreted by the analysis tool. The second is to perform latency analysis at runtime.

event example

% node examples/events/server.js

In a seperate console as root run

# bpftrace -p $(pgrep node) examples/events/event.bt

In another seperate console Genrate some load with artillery

% npm install artillery -g
% artillery quick --duration 60 --rate 10 -n 20 http://localhost:3000/event

Now stop the dtrace sample and do some post processing.
