About Easy-Monitor
Easy-Monitor is an enterprise-grade performance monitoring and online fault-diagnosis solution for Node.js applications. It is aimed at teams running Node.js services in production who need visibility into process and system metrics to diagnose performance and stability problems, rather than guessing from logs alone.
Version 3.0 supports Linux, macOS and Windows, and covers performance monitoring of Node.js process and system metrics, error log display with npm dependency security risk alerts, customizable intelligent alerting, and real-time export of a running process's state for diagnosis. The 3.0 architecture split the project into several sub-modules hosted under a separate X-Profiler organization, including a console, management and transit services, and the underlying performance-log generation and collection plugins.
The console frontend is built with Vue.js and the iView UI framework, while the monitoring backend uses the Egg.js framework, with its UI design referencing the AliNode console. It is released under the BSD-2-Clause license, with usage documentation hosted on Yuque and a DingTalk group for community support.
