Purpose

Simple wrapper around "inspector" module. Basically it adds :

  • promises & async/await syntax
  • S3 exporter

Compatibility

| Version | Supported | Tested | |:-------------:|:-------------:|:--------------:| | 20.x | yes | yes | | 18.x | yes | yes | | 16.x | yes | yes |

In order to have all features we recommend to use at least Node.js version 10 or higher.

Installation

$ npm install inspector-api --save

Usage

CPU profiling

const Inspector = require('inspector-api')
const inspector = new Inspector()

await inspector.profiler.enable()
await inspector.profiler.start()
// Invoke business logic under measurement here...

// some time later...
await inspector.profiler.stop()

Memory sampling

const Inspector = require('inspector-api')
const inspector = new Inspector()

await inspector.heap.enable()
await inspector.heap.startSampling()
// Invoke business logic under measurement here...

// some time later...
await inspector.heap.stopSampling()

Memory snapshot

const Inspector = require('inspector-api')
const inspector = new Inspector()

await inspector.heap.takeSnapshot()

Code coverage

const Inspector = require('inspector-api')
const inspector = new Inspector()

await inspector.profiler.enable()
await inspector.profiler.startPreciseCoverage({ callCount: true, detailed: true })

const data = await inspector.profiler.takePreciseCoverage()
await inspector.profiler.stopPreciseCoverage()

Use S3 exporter

const Inspector = require('inspector-api')
const inspector = new Inspector({
    storage: {
        type: 's3',
        bucket: 'testBucket',
        dir: 'inspector'
    }
})

await inspector.profiler.enable()
await inspector.profiler.start()
// Invoke business logic under measurement here...

// some time later...
await inspector.profiler.stop()

Warning: it seems that the new AWS SDK leads to unexpected error if you use the takeSnapshot method (you should use memory sampling)

Constructor's config

new inspector([config])

config.storage

| Option | description | Default value | |:-------------:|:------------------------------------------:|:--------------:| | type | Storage type (raw, s3 or fs) | raw | | bucket | S3 bucket's name | none | | dir | Directory where to store the file | none |

If you use fs, the generated data will be store on the disk in your default tmp directory. You can display it in Node.js with the command require('os').tmpdir()

Test

$ npm test
