Goliath server monitoring

[Valery Visnakov]

Is there a way to monitor Goliath server? Can it run with NewRelic
agent?

Hi Valery,

Check out this thread: https://groups.google.com/group/goliath-io/browse_thread/thread/ee75acdbf76751c6

It is not possible to just include the Newrelic Agent and have it automagically report analytics like it does in Sinatra or Rails apps. However, I have had success in utilizing the trace middleware that Ilya mentions in the thread I linked to. I use the trace middleware to collect run times of all of the methods that are part of my various API endpoints. I manually start the NR Agent in my Goliath config, and then pass these run times to the Agent as custom metric data as the last step before returning a response to the user.

Hope this helps,
Adam

Adam.. nice! It would be awesome to have this documented somewhere: wiki page, gist, whichever? If you have the time.. I'm sure New Relic guys would appreciate it as well.

Hi Ilya,

Sure, I can do that. In fact, I even have some custom middleware I wrote for handling the reporting part. Just need to clean the code up some, but I'm happy to add it to my fork and document what I can to the wiki docs. Might be after the holidays before I can get to it, though.

Cheers,

A

Sounds great, thanks Adam!

I'd be interested in the code as well. Thanks for being willing to share!

Thanks,
Justin

Hey guys, finally back from holiday and getting back into things
again.

Ilya, I plan on creating an example project in my fork and issuing a
pull request to get the code in—if I also create a separate markdown
doc for documenting the example, will that be sufficient for inclusion
into the Goliath repo wiki if/when you'd like to pull it in?

Should be able to do this in the next couple of days... once I get
through this mountain of email :) I'll keep you posted.


Cheers,
Adam
