Setting up StrongLoop with my node applications

Question

I'm currently testing platforms that provide a monitoring service for nodejs application. So I found (for now) StrongLoop and AppDynamics (recently acquire nodetime).

Actually I'm testing StrongLoop service. I have followed all the steps describe in the documentation but I can't see any data on the dashboard, only the StrongLoop Demo App. Here is all the steps :

• npm install -g strongloop
• npm install --save strong-agent
• $ slc strongops (command that create strongloop.json file)
• add "require('strong-agent').profile();" line on first line of each applications (2)
• restart my applications (using PM2 to manage my applications - cluster mode, AWS EC2, Ubuntu)

Any idea ?

Tank you.

Answer 1

I created a Linux init.d Daemon script which you can use to run your app with slc as service: https://gist.github.com/gurdotan/23311a236fc65dc212da

Might be useful to some of you.

Answer 2

My answer with links got deleted by another SO user so I'm listing the steps here.

First uninstall using this

$ npm uninstall -g strong-cli $ npm uninstall -g loopback-sdk-angular-cli

and then install

npm install -g strongloop

You can now run slc strongops

and let us know how it goes.
