server-tracker

The server-tracker collects information about user- and system-behavior throughout very small as well as very large system. For modern web- or mobile-applications this tool can collect information from browsers, native applications, servers, database, etc and correlate to provide a holistic view of system- and user-behavior.

Install

In order to be able to install and execute the server-tracker, one must have both node.js and npm installed. There are many ways to get these two products install. One of them is to install them using nvm

git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
 . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install v0.4.12
nvm alias default v0.4.12 

For this to work one obviously need git as well as a compiler and other build essentials. The nvm page is one of the sources that explain how to install these problems. Once node.js and npm are availabe, the tracker can be installed using:

npm install server-tracker --mongodb:native 

By default, the tracker looks for a configuration file called ${HOME}/.server-tracker.json. This file has to contain valid json that identifies the replication set to use, as in:

{
    "listenPort": 3080,
    "mongo": {
        "replica-set": [
            {
                "server": "mongo00.jolira.com",
                "port": 27017
            },
            {
                "server": "mongo01.jolira.com",
                "port": 27017
            },
            {
                "server": "mongo02.jolira.com",
                "port": 27017
            }
        ],
        "database": "mobile-app",
        "indices": {
            "measurements": []
        }
    },
    "seeds": [
        {
            "server": "tracker00.jolira.com",
            "port": 3080
        },
        {
            "server": "tracker01.jolira.com",
            "port": 3080
        },
        {
            "server": "tracker02.jolira.com",
            "port": 3080
        }
    ]
}

The startup process fails unless the tracker can connect to a mongo instance on the local server. Configuration data is loaded from there. In order to connect to a different instance, one has to start the server tracker directly using: npm start server-tracker
