❯ Quick Start

Installation

Install library by using npm

npm install database-metrics-logger

or by using yarn

yarn add database-metrics-logger

How to use

Step 1: Import DatabaseMetricsLogger

Using CommonJS module loader:

const DatabaseMetricsLogger = require('database-metrics-logger');

Using ES6 module loader:

import { DatabaseMetricsLogger } from 'database-metrics-logger';

Step 2: Create new instance of CfServiceMetricsLogger

Create new instance of DatabaseMetricsLogger and provide options:

const databaseCredentials = [
  {
    databaseType: 'mongodb',
    host: 'your-mongodb-host',
    username: 'user',
    password: 'this-is-secret',
    port: 27017
    database: 'your-database-name',
  },
  {
    databaseType: 'redis',
    host: 'your-redis-host',
    port: 6379,
    password: 'this-is-secret',
  }
];

const databaseMetricsLogger = new DatabaseMetricsLogger({databaseCredentials});

Step 3: Subscribe to receive service metrics and general logs

Subscribe metrics to receive service metrics data:

databaseMetricsLogger.subscribe('metrics', data => {
  // do some fancy stuff with your metrics
});

Subscribe logs to receive general application logs:

databaseMetricsLogger.subscribe('logs', {message, level} => {
  console[level](message));
});

Step 3: Start and stop service metrics logging

Start database metrics logging:

databaseMetricsLogger.start();

Stop service metrics logging:

databaseMetricsLogger.stop();

❯ Cloud Connectors

You can use a cloud connector to log metrics from your cloud instance databases.

Cloud Foundry

Options

Option	Description	Default Value
vcap (optional)	Provide local VCAP_SERVICES and/or VCAP_APPLICATION values	{}
vcapFile (optional)	Provide local VCAP_SERVICES and/or VCAP_APPLICATION file	''

Methods

Method	Description
getCredentials()	Get Cloud Foundry service credentials

Example

// import using `CommonJS` module loader:
const { CloudFoundryConnector, DatabaseMetricsLogger } = require('cf-service-metrics-logger');

// or import using `ES6` module loader:
import { CloudFoundryConnector, DatabaseMetricsLogger } from 'cf-service-metrics-logger';

const options = {
  vcapFile: 'your-vcap-file-path/vcap.json' 
};

const cloudFoundryConnector = new CloudFoundryConnector(options);
const databaseCredentials = cloudFoundryConnector.getCredentials();
const databaseMetricsLogger = new DatabaseMetricsLogger({databaseCredentials});

databaseMetricsLogger.subscribe('metrics', data => {
  // do some fancy stuff with your metrics
});

databaseMetricsLogger.start();

setTimeout(() => {
  databaseMetricsLogger.stop();
}, 30000);

❯ Transports

With transports you can log metrics to metrics services like Datadog. Datadog is currently the one and only implemented transport.

Datadog

Example

// import using `CommonJS` module loader:
const { DatabaseMetricsLogger, DatadogTransport } = require('database-metrics-logger');

// or import using `ES6` module loader:
import { DatabaseMetricsLogger, DatadogTransport } from 'database-metrics-logger';

const datadogTransport = new DatadogTransport({
  apiKey: 'datadog-api-key',
  appKey: 'datadog-app-key',
  host: 'app.datadoghq.com',
  tags: ['env:development']
});

const databaseCredentials = [
  {
    databaseType: 'mongodb',
    host: 'your-mongodb-host',
    username: 'user',
    password: 'this-is-secret',
    port: 27017,
    database: 'your-database-name',
  }
];

const databaseMetricsLogger = new DatabaseMetricsLogger({
  databaseCredentials,
  transports: [datadogTransport],
});

databaseMetricsLogger.start();

❯ Development

Getting Started

Step 1: Set up the Development Environment

You need to set up your development environment before you can do anything.

Install Node.js and NPM

• on OSX use homebrew brew install node
• on Windows use chocolatey choco install nodejs

Install yarn globally

yarn install yarn -g

Step 2: Install dependencies

Install all dependencies with yarn.

yarn install

Scripts and Tasks

Install

• Install all dependencies with yarn install

Linting

• Run code quality analysis using yarn run lint. This runs tslint.

Tests

• Run unit test using yarn run test.

Building the project

• Run yarn run build to generate commonJS and ES6 modules as well as declaration from the TypeScript source.
• Builded sources are located in dist folder.

Debugger

VS Code

Just set a breakpoint in source or unit test and hit F5 in your Visual Studio Code to execute and debug all unit tests.
