Cloud Logging for Node.js lets you store,
search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events in Node.js
applications. We provide Bunyan and Winston plugins, as well as a Stackdriver
Logging API client library. To get started with Cloud Logging, see
Setting Up Cloud Logging for Node.js applications.
Cloud Monitoring
Cloud Monitoring for Node.js collects
metrics, events, and metadata from Node.js applications. Stackdriver
ingests that data and generates insights by using dashboards, charts, and alerts.
Cloud Trace is a distributed tracing system for
Google Cloud that collects latency data from Node.js applications
and displays it in near real time in the Google Cloud console. To get started with
Cloud Trace, see
Setting Up Cloud Trace for Node.js applications.
