# Dynatrace npm module for PaaS

This module adds enterprise grade monitoring for Node.js in PaaS environments that aren't supported by a dedicated integration.

Before using this module, please [review the Dynatrace documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-cloud-platforms) to

make sure that there isn't already a marketplace integration or buildpack available for your platform.

## Installation

* [Sign up for free](https://www.dynatrace.com/trial/) and follow the instructions

* Click on "Deploy Dynatrace"

* Click on "Set up PaaS Integration"

* Generate a PaaS token

* Run `$ npm install --save @dynatrace/oneagent` in your project directory

* Using the previously created credentials add the following code block as first statement to your application

```js

try {

  require('@dynatrace/oneagent')({

    environmentid: '',

    apitoken: '',

    endpoint: '' // specify endpoint url - not needed for SaaS customers

  });

} catch (err) {

  console.log('Failed to load OneAgent: ', err);

}

```

#### Emitting debug output

To enable debug output set the `DEBUG` environment variable to `dynatrace*`. For more detail see the [debug module documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug).

## Deployment

### Deploying Dynatrace to AWS Lambda

Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.207, Dynatrace offers a dedicated AWS Lambda layer to monitor Node.js based AWS Lambda functions. Please review the [Dynatrace product news](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/dynatrace-extends-distributed-tracing-for-serverless-on-aws-lambda/) and [documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/technology-support/cloud-platforms/amazon-web-services/integrations/deploy-oneagent-as-lambda-extension/) to learn more.

### Deploying Dynatrace to Heroku

Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.141, Dynatrace offers a dedicated buildpack for Heroku. Please refer to our [documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/infrastructure-monitoring/cloud-platform-monitoring/heroku-monitoring) for further instructions.

### Deploying Dynatrace to Cloud Foundry

Starting with Dynatrace OneAgent 1.131 and [Cloud Foundry Node.js buildpack 1.6.10](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nodejs-buildpack/releases/tag/v1.6.10) Dynatrace is part of the buildpack.

Using the buildpack is preferable to the npm module approach due to several improvements. For instance,

you're no longer required to install a dependency on `@dynatrace/oneagent` in your project directory.

You also no longer need to add a require statement as the first statement of your application.

Please review the [Dynatrace product news](https://www.dynatrace.com/blog/support-for-node-js-apps-on-cloud-foundry-paas/)

and [documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/setup-and-configuration/setup-on-container-platforms/cloud-foundry/deploy-oneagent-on-pivotal-web-services-for-application-only-monitoring)

to learn more.
