Application Performance Monitoring

Follow every request as it traverses your microservices. Identify latency bottlenecks, analyze upstream dependencies, and optimize your backend logic with zero-configuration distributed tracing.

Prerequisites

A supported Node.js backend environment.

1. Dashboard Configuration

Before injecting code into your application, you must provision an API key from the Senzor dashboard.

Register APM Service

Generate an API key for your specific microservice in the dashboard.

2. SDK Installation

Select your environment below to view the initialization code.

npm install @senzops/apm-node

const senzor = require('@senzops/apm-node');
senzor.init({ apiKey: "<YOUR_APM_KEY>" });

// 1. Request Handler (First)
app.use(senzor.requestHandler());

// ... your routes ...

// 2. Error Handler (Last)
app.use(senzor.errorHandler());

The request handler MUST be the very first middleware to accurately track total request duration.

Troubleshooting & Edge Cases

Durations are incorrect or 0ms in Express.

You must attach `senzor.requestHandler()` as the absolute first middleware, before body-parsers or cors configurations.
