In our last blog post in our series on using data streaming functionality to create Rickshaw real-time charts, we gave an introduction of Rickshaw, d3.js, and PubNub, and built a basic real-time chart. We strongly recommend checking out that tutorial to learn more about real-time DIY visualizations.
In this blog post (and the video below), we’re going to dig a little deeper and build another real-time chart. We’ll be monitoring Node.js memory usage using Rickshaw, d3.js, and a handy npm module.
The npm module plugs right into our Rickshaw-PubNub library, and contains everything you need to get started right away. It’ll automatically log your memory usage and spawns an express static server.
In the end, you’ll have a real-time chart that looks something like this:
NodeJS memory usage is exposed through process.memoryUsage()
.
Every interval_timeout
the module publishes the current output of process.memoryUsage()
to the suppliedpublish_key
and channel
on the PubNub network.
There are a lot of moving parts, but a full working chart example is include out of the box.
First, install the module with npm.
Include in your app with {dev: true}
. This will spawn an express server on localhost using the supplied port
. This is a simple static server that already includes the contents of pubnub-rickshaw.
That’s it! Now when you run your node app, you should see the following:
Visit the url to see a real-time graph of your NodeJS memory profile over time. You can copy this javascript code, modify it, and embed it anywhere. Make sure to set your own channel!
