Node.js Monitoring Template

Provided by: bonitoo.io

This template provides a dashboard for simple monitoring of a Node.js application. The dashboard charts basic process metrics and the response time of http requests and their response status code. The process metrics are generated from process.memoryUsage())), process.cpuUsage() and process.resourceUsage() functions.
