Datadog APM | Datadog

Comprehensive Observability for Node.js Applications

Troubleshoot, optimize, and secure your Node.js applications faster with end-to-end distributed tracing and service-centric observability at scale, correlated with all telemetry types.

Product Benefits

Find Root Causes Faster with Thread-Level Distributed Tracing

  • Easily detect bottlenecks in your Node.js code, down to the method or line level, including event loop blocking, inefficient garbage collection, slow database queries, and high I/O latency
  • Identify root causes quickly by tracing async operations, correlating logs, Node.js metrics, database queries, third-party API latency, and frontend telemetry—all in one view
  • Filter and analyze traces using trace-level attributes, service relationships, endpoints, and other properties, all without needing to learn a complex query language
  • Monitor Node.js applications instrumented with OpenTelemetry (OTel) APIs and Collector, within the Datadog Agent, and track performance of WebSocket connections and non-blocking I/O operations in real-time

Live Visibility and Control Over Your Node.js Traces

  • Search and analyze traces from your Node.js apps live within the last 15 minutes, including async callbacks, promises, and WebSocket communication
  • Retain errors and high latency traces automatically for 15 days
  • Fine-tune cost-visibility tradeoffs with fine-grained ingestion controls and tag-based retention filters

Instantly Generate Node.js Logs, Spans, Metrics, and Tags without Redeploying Code

  • Expedite debugging of production issues with granular insights into your Node.js code’s runtime behavior and service interactions by adding log statements without changing code
  • Add spans to troubleshoot slow requests and specific operations in your Node.js services without leaving the Datadog platform
  • Create metrics on the fly that measure the time any method in your code is consuming in production, and use metric expressions to focus on specific requests

Get Thread-level Insights into Performance Bottlenecks in Production

  • Detect the most resource-consuming methods or classes in your applications in seconds with a lightweight, next-generation profiler that’s easy-to-use and always-on
  • Address complex Node.js challenges like event loop blocking, async operation delays, and garbage collection inefficiencies with detailed performance breakdowns
  • Determine the root cause of code issues with a breakdown of time spent by method on CPU, garbage collection, lock contention, and I/O; improve CPU utilization, memory allocation, and user latency
  • Surface runtime issues such as inefficient garbage collection, memory leaks, and deadlocked threads to improve performance and reduce downtime

Ensure Smooth Deployments and Eliminate Performance Regressions

  • Follow issues over time to know when they first started, if they are still ongoing, and how often they occur with Error Tracking
  • Compare application performance and impact across hosts, versions, and time ranges, monitoring event loop performance and async operation delays during rolling, canary, blue/green, or shadow deploys
  • Quickly troubleshoot faulty deployments with automatic faulty deployment detection and decide whether to roll back or ship a fix

Centralize Your Service Knowledge and Operations

  • Achieve end-to-end service ownership at scale, get real-time performance insights into your event loops, manage async operation bottlenecks, and address reliability risks—all in one place
  • Get RED metrics based on 100% of traffic with 15-month retention so you can search, analyze, and visualize any trace using any tag
  • Automatically discover, catalog, and monitor services—no instrumentation code changes necessary—with Universal Service Monitoring
  • Reduce mean time to detection through automatic dependency mapping, powered by eBPF technology

Full-Stack Defense across Apps, Workloads, and Infrastructure

  • Track your security posture easily with out-of-the-box threat activity, exposure, and vulnerabilities ratings captured in the Datadog Severity Score
  • Triage vulnerability impact in full context with continuous runtime scans across open source libraries
  • Remediate issues with out-of-the-box actionable guidance and automatic correlation between your application and infrastructure
  • Quickly discover code vulnerabilities and attack attempts in your Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Python, Go, and C++ applications

Receive Alerts Only for the Issues that Matter and Eliminate False-Positives

  • Set up recommended alerts with 1 click for anomalies and outliers that account for daily, weekly, and seasonal fluctuations
  • Proactively prevent outages and errors in the future by alerting on metric forecasts
  • Combine alerts into composite alerts for greater granularity and stronger signal to reduce the noise
  • Automatically detect unanticipated outliers, anomalies, and errors with Watchdog
