Jaeger
Monitor and troubleshoot transactions in complex distributed systems
As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application. Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems. OpenTracing compatible data model and instrumentation libraries include Go, Java, Node, Python, C++ and C#. Jaeger uses consistent upfront sampling with individual per service/endpoint probabilities and it has multiple storage backends: Cassandra, Elasticsearch, memory. -

Elastic APM Node.js Agent
Elastic APM Node.js Agent
This is the official Node.js application performance monitoring (APM) agent for the Elastic Observability solution. It is a Node.js package that runs with your Node.js application to automatically capture errors, tracing data, and performance metrics. APM data is sent to your Elastic Observability deployment -- hosted in Elastic's cloud or in your own on-premises deployment -- where you can monitor your application, create alerts, and quick identify root causes of service issues. First, you will need an Elastic Stack deployment. This is a deployment of APM Server (which receives APM data from the APM agent running in your application), Elasticsearch (the database that stores all APM data), and Kibana (the application that provides the interface to visualize and analyze the data). If you do not already have an Elastic deployment to use, follow this APM Quick Start guide to create a free trial on Elastic's cloud. -
