This is the official Node.js agent for Pinpoint.

If you have any feedback or questions, please post them on the Discuss issues.

Installation and getting started

1. Install

Install with npm:

npm install --save pinpoint-node-agent

Install with yarn:

yarn add pinpoint-node-agent

2. Adding a code

To run Pinpoint agent for your own applications, make sure you have the prerequisites in place first.

ES6

  import 'pinpoint-node-agent'

CommonJS

  require('pinpoint-node-agent')

Webpack with node -r (required: above v0.8.2)

In Node with Webpack, if the Pinpoint Node agent cannot hook the HTTP module, it is the case that http.createServer is called first in the JS code compiled by webpack.

The'pinpoint-node-agent' require or import in the source code should be deleted.

$ node -r pinpoint-node-agent dist/entry.js

If you are using pm2, use node-args(CLI) or node_args(Ecosystem File).

module.exports = {
  apps : [{
    name: "app",
    script: "./app.js",
    'node_args': ['-r', 'pinpoint-node-agent']
  }]
}

3. Configuration with Environment variables

Based on the pinpoint-config-default.json file, only necessary parts are set as environment variables.

name default description
PINPOINT_AGENT_ID The maximum length is 24. a required variable.
PINPOINT_APPLICATION_NAME meaningful name of the app. an application name can have multiple PINPOINT_AGENT_ID. The maximum length is 24. a required variable.
PINPOINT_COLLECTOR_IP localhost The address that the Pinpoint collector. ex) 192.168.0.1
PINPOINT_SAMPLING_RATE 10 Sample rate of incoming HTTP or HTTPS request. The value is calculated as 1/value.
PINPOINT_LOG_LEVEL WARN Log level
PINPOINT_ENABLE true If you set it to false, the agent will not work.
PINPOINT_CONTAINER false Whether to use docker or kubernetes. If the PINPOINT_CONTAINER environment variable is not set, the agent analyzes the'/.dockerenv' and'/proc/self/cgroup' files to determine whether to use the Docker container. If the KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST environment variable exists, it is determined that it is the kubernetes environment and changes it to the true value.
PINPOINT_TRACE_EXCLUSION_URL_PATTERN comma-separated string. ex) /health_check,/admin/** or Unit tests
PINPOINT_TRACE_EXCLUSION_URL_CACHE_SIZE If the app is designed so that the pathname of the URL is fixed, if the cache size is set, the pathname of the frequently used URL does not match with patterns. In case of using query for pathname like /user/1000, cache is unnecessarily. Unit tests
PINPOINT_PROFILER_SQL_STAT false SQL uid
PINPOINT_TRACE_LOCATION_AND_FILENAME_OF_CALL_SITE false CallSite line number and filename

Agent ID

The agent ID is used as the identifier per the server or node. You need to set the hostname or node identifier(The maximum length is 24) on the server.
