Using N|Solid

📄️ CPU Profiling

CPU Profiling allows you to understand where opportunities exist to improve the speed and load capacity of your Node processes.

Utilizing typescript and/or transpilers with N|Solid makes interpreting CPU profiles difficult unless the user is deeply familiar with the code. The integration of Source Maps provides a translation layer that provides a reference between the compiled source code and source code.

📄️ Flamegraph Export

Users can now export NSolid Falamegraphs at the click of a button when viewing a CPU profile. In addition to downloading the CPU profile to visualize it in external tools such as Chrome Dev Tools, users can export the Flamegraph visualization to an SVG format in a few easy steps.

📄️ Filtering and Tagging

📄️ Heap Snapshots

When faced with a memory leak or performance issue, taking heap snapshots is a great way to help identify the underlying problem. N|Solid provides several ways to capture snapshots: the N|Solid Console, the N|Solid CLI, and the N|Solid Node API.

📄️ Saved Views

A Saved View is a graph defined by a search query. Saved views allow you to view processes that fulfill certain parameters and to instruct N|Solid to take certain actions (such as taking heap snapshots, CPU profiles, or sending webhooks) when one or more processes cross over performance thresholds or match query parameters that you set.

📄️ Integrations

Connecting to Teams, Slack, Webhooks, etc.

📄️ Security Vulnerabilities

The N|Solid Console can be configured to perform periodic verification of all packages loaded by all N|Solid processes. All loaded packages are verified against a list of known vulnerabilities.

📄️ NodeSource Certified Modules v2 (NCM 2)

Using NCM 2 with the Console.

📄️ Import/Export Settings

Users can now export configuration settings using either NSolid Console, the result is a JSON format file which can be used to import settings across different setups.

📄️ Event profiler

N|Solid event profiler provides a rich set of events, covering security events, lifecycle events, system events, performance events, user defined machine learning events and assets events.

📄️ HTTP Tracing

NodeSource has introduced Tracing support, a facility to gather information throughout the lifecycle of an HTTP/DNS/Other request. The collected information can be used for debugging latency issues, service monitoring and more. This is a valuable addition to users for those who are interested in debugging a request latency. Tracing traces user requests through a Node application, collecting data that can help find the cause of latency issues, errors, and other problems.

📄️ OpenTelemetry Support

N|Solid has added support for some OpenTelemetry features:

📄️ CPU Anomaly Detection

In order to correctly identify an anomaly it is important that the detection method be accurate. CPU is no longer enough of a measurement to scale applications. Other factors such as garbage collection, crypto, and other tasks placed in libuv's thread pool can increase the CPU usage in a way that is not indicative of the application's overall health. Even applications that don't use Worker threads are susceptible to this issue.
