What is Custom Metrics?

Custom metrics is a powerfull way to get more visibility from a running application. It will allow you to monitor in realtime the current value of variables, know the number of actions being processed, measure latency and much more.

Once you have plugged in some custom metrics you will be able to monitor their value in realtime with

pm2 monit

Or

pm2 describe

Or on the PM2+ Web interface

pm2 open

Example

const io = require('@pm2/io')

const currentReq = io.counter({
  name: 'CM: Current Processing',
  type: 'counter'
})

setInterval(() => {
  currentReq.inc()
}, 1000)
