Monitoring Microclimate-based Node.js applications in IBM Cloud Private
If you have Microclimate-based Node.js applications that you want to monitor in IBM® Cloud Private, you must first set up a connection between the data collector and the Cloud App Management server. Then you update your application deployment to monitor the Microclimate-based Node.js applications.
Before you begin
If your service account doesn't have access to Kubernetes resources, see: Authorizing the data collector to access Kubernetes resources.
Check that you downloaded the configuration package to obtain the server information, for more information, see Obtaining the server configuration information.
You must check the appmetrics version before you install the data collector. The
Node.js application that is created by Microclimate
requires appmetrics automatically. Check the appmetrics version
and if the version is 4.0.0 or later, then the Node.js data collector is included already. If the version is
less than 4.0.0, you must upgrade the appmetrics to version 4.0.0 or later. For
more information, see Installing the Node.js
data collector.
