Simple express/connect middleware to provide a status page with following details of the nodejs host.

• Various Versions - Prints NodeJS Version, OS Version, OS Release
• CPU - Average Load on CPU
• Memory - Total Memory, Free Memory
• Traffic - Total Num of Requests, Requests per second, Total KBs Transferred, Total KBs Out etc.
• Workers - List all the worker processes and the information listed above for each of the worker processes

This module reads the above data from a unix socket generated from the npm module process-watcher. For more details on process-watcher, please refer https://github.com/yahoo/process-watcher.

This module is recommended to be used only in a cluster environment. Also this module is designed to work together with monitr (https://github.com/yahoo/monitr) and process-watcher. For an example of them working together please check examples/sample_cluster.js.

var express = require('express'),

app.use(status({

    check: function(req) {
        if (req.something == false) {
            return false; //Don't show status
        }
        return true; //Show status
    },
    responseContentType : 'html'
}));

console.log('Go to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/status');
