Public API#

Overview#

Following is a simple overview of the public API.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

// Get a reusable channel object
const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

function onMessage(message, name) {
  // Received data
}

// Subscribe to the channel
diagnostics_channel.subscribe('my-channel', onMessage);

// Check if the channel has an active subscriber
if (channel.hasSubscribers) {
  // Publish data to the channel
  channel.publish({
    some: 'data',
  });
}

// Unsubscribe from the channel
diagnostics_channel.unsubscribe('my-channel', onMessage);const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

// Get a reusable channel object
const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

function onMessage(message, name) {
  // Received data
}

// Subscribe to the channel
diagnostics_channel.subscribe('my-channel', onMessage);

// Check if the channel has an active subscriber
if (channel.hasSubscribers) {
  // Publish data to the channel
  channel.publish({
    some: 'data',
  });
}

// Unsubscribe from the channel
diagnostics_channel.unsubscribe('my-channel', onMessage);copy

diagnostics_channel.hasSubscribers(name)#

• name <string> | <symbol> The channel name
• Returns: <boolean> If there are active subscribers

Check if there are active subscribers to the named channel. This is helpful if the message you want to send might be expensive to prepare.

This API is optional but helpful when trying to publish messages from very performance-sensitive code.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

if (diagnostics_channel.hasSubscribers('my-channel')) {
  // There are subscribers, prepare and publish message
}const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

if (diagnostics_channel.hasSubscribers('my-channel')) {
  // There are subscribers, prepare and publish message
}copy

diagnostics_channel.channel(name)#

• name <string> | <symbol> The channel name
• Returns: <Channel> The named channel object

This is the primary entry-point for anyone wanting to publish to a named channel. It produces a channel object which is optimized to reduce overhead at publish time as much as possible.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');copy

diagnostics_channel.subscribe(name, onMessage)#

• name <string> | <symbol> The channel name
• onMessage <Function> The handler to receive channel messages
  • message <any> The message data
  • name <string> | <symbol> The name of the channel

Register a message handler to subscribe to this channel. This message handler will be run synchronously whenever a message is published to the channel. Any errors thrown in the message handler will trigger an 'uncaughtException'.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

diagnostics_channel.subscribe('my-channel', (message, name) => {
  // Received data
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

diagnostics_channel.subscribe('my-channel', (message, name) => {
  // Received data
});copy

diagnostics_channel.unsubscribe(name, onMessage)#

• name <string> | <symbol> The channel name
• onMessage <Function> The previous subscribed handler to remove
• Returns: <boolean> true if the handler was found, false otherwise.

Remove a message handler previously registered to this channel with diagnostics_channel.subscribe(name, onMessage).

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

function onMessage(message, name) {
  // Received data
}

diagnostics_channel.subscribe('my-channel', onMessage);

diagnostics_channel.unsubscribe('my-channel', onMessage);const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

function onMessage(message, name) {
  // Received data
}

diagnostics_channel.subscribe('my-channel', onMessage);

diagnostics_channel.unsubscribe('my-channel', onMessage);copy

diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel(nameOrChannels)#

• nameOrChannels <string> | <TracingChannel> Channel name or object containing all the TracingChannel Channels
• Returns: <TracingChannel> Collection of channels to trace with

Creates a TracingChannel wrapper for the given TracingChannel Channels. If a name is given, the corresponding tracing channels will be created in the form of tracing:${name}:${eventType} where eventType corresponds to the types of TracingChannel Channels.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channelsByName = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

// or...

const channelsByCollection = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel({
  start: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:start'),
  end: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:end'),
  asyncStart: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:asyncStart'),
  asyncEnd: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:asyncEnd'),
  error: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:error'),
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channelsByName = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

// or...

const channelsByCollection = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel({
  start: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:start'),
  end: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:end'),
  asyncStart: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:asyncStart'),
  asyncEnd: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:asyncEnd'),
  error: diagnostics_channel.channel('tracing:my-channel:error'),
});copy

Class: Channel#

The class Channel represents an individual named channel within the data pipeline. It is used to track subscribers and to publish messages when there are subscribers present. It exists as a separate object to avoid channel lookups at publish time, enabling very fast publish speeds and allowing for heavy use while incurring very minimal cost. Channels are created with diagnostics_channel.channel(name), constructing a channel directly with new Channel(name) is not supported.

channel.hasSubscribers#

• Returns: <boolean> If there are active subscribers

Check if there are active subscribers to this channel. This is helpful if the message you want to send might be expensive to prepare.

This API is optional but helpful when trying to publish messages from very performance-sensitive code.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

if (channel.hasSubscribers) {
  // There are subscribers, prepare and publish message

if (channel.hasSubscribers) {
  // There are subscribers, prepare and publish message
}copy

channel.publish(message)#

• message <any> The message to send to the channel subscribers

Publish a message to any subscribers to the channel. This will trigger message handlers synchronously so they will execute within the same context.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

channel.publish({
  some: 'message',
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

});copy

channel.subscribe(onMessage)#

• onMessage <Function> The handler to receive channel messages
  • message <any> The message data
  • name <string> | <symbol> The name of the channel

Register a message handler to subscribe to this channel. This message handler will be run synchronously whenever a message is published to the channel. Any errors thrown in the message handler will trigger an 'uncaughtException'.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

channel.subscribe((message, name) => {
  // Received data
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

channel.subscribe(onMessage);

channel.unsubscribe(onMessage);copy

channel.bindStore(store[, transform])#

• store <AsyncLocalStorage> The store to which to bind the context data
• transform <Function> Transform context data before setting the store context

When channel.runStores(context, ...) is called, the given context data will be applied to any store bound to the channel. If the store has already been bound the previous transform function will be replaced with the new one. The transform function may be omitted to set the given context data as the context directly.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';
import { AsyncLocalStorage } from 'node:async_hooks';

const store = new AsyncLocalStorage();

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

channel.bindStore(store, (data) => {
  return { data };
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');
const { AsyncLocalStorage } = require('node:async_hooks');

const store = new AsyncLocalStorage();

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

channel.bindStore(store, (data) => {
  return { data };
});copy

channel.unbindStore(store)#

• store <AsyncLocalStorage> The store to unbind from the channel.
• Returns: <boolean> true if the store was found, false otherwise.

Remove a message handler previously registered to this channel with channel.bindStore(store).

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';
import { AsyncLocalStorage } from 'node:async_hooks';

const store = new AsyncLocalStorage();

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

channel.bindStore(store);
channel.unbindStore(store);copy

channel.runStores(context, fn[, thisArg[, ...args]])#

• context <any> Message to send to subscribers and bind to stores
• fn <Function> Handler to run within the entered storage context
• thisArg <any> The receiver to be used for the function call.
• ...args <any> Optional arguments to pass to the function.

Applies the given data to any AsyncLocalStorage instances bound to the channel for the duration of the given function, then publishes to the channel within the scope of that data is applied to the stores.

If a transform function was given to channel.bindStore(store) it will be applied to transform the message data before it becomes the context value for the store. The prior storage context is accessible from within the transform function in cases where context linking is required.

The context applied to the store should be accessible in any async code which continues from execution which began during the given function, however there are some situations in which context loss may occur.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';
import { AsyncLocalStorage } from 'node:async_hooks';

const store = new AsyncLocalStorage();

const channel = diagnostics_channel.channel('my-channel');

channel.bindStore(store, (message) => {

  return new Span(message, parent);
});
channel.runStores({ some: 'message' }, () => {
  store.getStore(); // Span({ some: 'message' })
});copy

Class: TracingChannel#

The class TracingChannel is a collection of TracingChannel Channels which together express a single traceable action. It is used to formalize and simplify the process of producing events for tracing application flow. diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel() is used to construct a TracingChannel. As with Channel it is recommended to create and reuse a single TracingChannel at the top-level of the file rather than creating them dynamically.

tracingChannel.subscribe(subscribers)#

• subscribers <Object> Set of TracingChannel Channels subscribers
  • start <Function> The start event subscriber
  • end <Function> The end event subscriber
  • asyncStart <Function> The asyncStart event subscriber
  • asyncEnd <Function> The asyncEnd event subscriber
  • error <Function> The error event subscriber

Helper to subscribe a collection of functions to the corresponding channels. This is the same as calling channel.subscribe(onMessage) on each channel individually.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.subscribe({
  start(message) {
    // Handle start message
  },
  end(message) {
    // Handle end message
  },
  asyncStart(message) {
    // Handle asyncStart message
  },
  asyncEnd(message) {
    // Handle asyncEnd message
  },
  error(message) {
    // Handle error message
  },
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.subscribe({
  start(message) {
    // Handle start message
  },
  end(message) {
    // Handle end message
  },
  asyncStart(message) {
    // Handle asyncStart message
  },
  asyncEnd(message) {
    // Handle asyncEnd message
  },
  error(message) {
    // Handle error message
  },
});copy

tracingChannel.unsubscribe(subscribers)#

• subscribers <Object> Set of TracingChannel Channels subscribers
  • start <Function> The start event subscriber
  • end <Function> The end event subscriber
  • asyncStart <Function> The asyncStart event subscriber
  • asyncEnd <Function> The asyncEnd event subscriber
  • error <Function> The error event subscriber
• Returns: <boolean> true if all handlers were successfully unsubscribed, and false otherwise.

Helper to unsubscribe a collection of functions from the corresponding channels. This is the same as calling channel.unsubscribe(onMessage) on each channel individually.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.unsubscribe({
  start(message) {
    // Handle start message
  },
  end(message) {
    // Handle end message
  },
  asyncStart(message) {
    // Handle asyncStart message
  },
  asyncEnd(message) {
    // Handle asyncEnd message
  },
  error(message) {
    // Handle error message
  },
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.unsubscribe({
  start(message) {
    // Handle start message
  },
  end(message) {
    // Handle end message
  },
  asyncStart(message) {
    // Handle asyncStart message
  },
  asyncEnd(message) {
    // Handle asyncEnd message
  },
  error(message) {
    // Handle error message
  },
});copy

tracingChannel.traceSync(fn[, context[, thisArg[, ...args]]])#

• fn <Function> Function to wrap a trace around
• context <Object> Shared object to correlate events through
• thisArg <any> The receiver to be used for the function call
• ...args <any> Optional arguments to pass to the function
• Returns: <any> The return value of the given function

Trace a synchronous function call. This will always produce a start event and end event around the execution and may produce an error event if the given function throws an error. This will run the given function using channel.runStores(context, ...) on the start channel which ensures all events should have any bound stores set to match this trace context.

To ensure only correct trace graphs are formed, events will only be published if subscribers are present prior to starting the trace. Subscriptions which are added after the trace begins will not receive future events from that trace, only future traces will be seen.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.traceSync(() => {
  // Do something
}, {
  some: 'thing',
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.traceSync(() => {
  // Do something
}, {
  some: 'thing',
});copy

tracingChannel.tracePromise(fn[, context[, thisArg[, ...args]]])#

• fn <Function> Promise-returning function to wrap a trace around
• context <Object> Shared object to correlate trace events through
• thisArg <any> The receiver to be used for the function call
• ...args <any> Optional arguments to pass to the function
• Returns: <Promise> Chained from promise returned by the given function

Trace a promise-returning function call. This will always produce a start event and end event around the synchronous portion of the function execution, and will produce an asyncStart event and asyncEnd event when a promise continuation is reached. It may also produce an error event if the given function throws an error or the returned promise rejects. This will run the given function using channel.runStores(context, ...) on the start channel which ensures all events should have any bound stores set to match this trace context.

To ensure only correct trace graphs are formed, events will only be published if subscribers are present prior to starting the trace. Subscriptions which are added after the trace begins will not receive future events from that trace, only future traces will be seen.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.tracePromise(async () => {
  // Do something
}, {
  some: 'thing',
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.tracePromise(async () => {
  // Do something
}, {
  some: 'thing',
});copy

tracingChannel.traceCallback(fn[, position[, context[, thisArg[, ...args]]]])#

• fn <Function> callback using function to wrap a trace around
• position <number> Zero-indexed argument position of expected callback (defaults to last argument if undefined is passed)
• context <Object> Shared object to correlate trace events through (defaults to {} if undefined is passed)
• thisArg <any> The receiver to be used for the function call
• ...args <any> arguments to pass to the function (must include the callback)
• Returns: <any> The return value of the given function

Trace a callback-receiving function call. The callback is expected to follow the error as first arg convention typically used. This will always produce a start event and end event around the synchronous portion of the function execution, and will produce a asyncStart event and asyncEnd event around the callback execution. It may also produce an error event if the given function throws or the first argument passed to the callback is set. This will run the given function using channel.runStores(context, ...) on the start channel which ensures all events should have any bound stores set to match this trace context.

To ensure only correct trace graphs are formed, events will only be published if subscribers are present prior to starting the trace. Subscriptions which are added after the trace begins will not receive future events from that trace, only future traces will be seen.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.traceCallback((arg1, callback) => {
  // Do something
  callback(null, 'result');
}, 1, {
  some: 'thing',
}, thisArg, arg1, callback);const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

channels.traceCallback((arg1, callback) => {
  // Do something
  callback(null, 'result');
}, 1, {
  some: 'thing',
}, thisArg, arg1, callback);copy

The callback will also be run with channel.runStores(context, ...) which enables context loss recovery in some cases.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';
import { AsyncLocalStorage } from 'node:async_hooks';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');
const myStore = new AsyncLocalStorage();

// The start channel sets the initial store data to something
// and stores that store data value on the trace context object
channels.start.bindStore(myStore, (data) => {
  const span = new Span(data);
  data.span = span;
  return span;
});

// Then asyncStart can restore from that data it stored previously
channels.asyncStart.bindStore(myStore, (data) => {
  return data.span;
});const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');
const { AsyncLocalStorage } = require('node:async_hooks');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');
const myStore = new AsyncLocalStorage();

// The start channel sets the initial store data to something
// and stores that store data value on the trace context object
channels.start.bindStore(myStore, (data) => {
  const span = new Span(data);
  data.span = span;
  return span;
});

// Then asyncStart can restore from that data it stored previously
channels.asyncStart.bindStore(myStore, (data) => {
  return data.span;
});copy

tracingChannel.hasSubscribers#

• Returns: <boolean> true if any of the individual channels has a subscriber, false if not.

This is a helper method available on a TracingChannel instance to check if any of the TracingChannel Channels have subscribers. A true is returned if any of them have at least one subscriber, a false is returned otherwise.

import diagnostics_channel from 'node:diagnostics_channel';

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

if (channels.hasSubscribers) {
  // Do something
}const diagnostics_channel = require('node:diagnostics_channel');

const channels = diagnostics_channel.tracingChannel('my-channel');

if (channels.hasSubscribers) {
  // Do something
}copy

TracingChannel Channels#

A TracingChannel is a collection of several diagnostics_channels representing specific points in the execution lifecycle of a single traceable action. The behavior is split into five diagnostics_channels consisting of start, end, asyncStart, asyncEnd, and error. A single traceable action will share the same event object between all events, this can be helpful for managing correlation through a weakmap.

These event objects will be extended with result or error values when the task "completes". In the case of a synchronous task the result will be the return value and the error will be anything thrown from the function. With callback-based async functions the result will be the second argument of the callback while the error will either be a thrown error visible in the end event or the first callback argument in either of the asyncStart or asyncEnd events.

To ensure only correct trace graphs are formed, events should only be published if subscribers are present prior to starting the trace. Subscriptions which are added after the trace begins should not receive future events from that trace, only future traces will be seen.

Tracing channels should follow a naming pattern of:

• tracing:module.class.method:start or tracing:module.function:start
• tracing:module.class.method:end or tracing:module.function:end
• tracing:module.class.method:asyncStart or tracing:module.function:asyncStart
• tracing:module.class.method:asyncEnd or tracing:module.function:asyncEnd
• tracing:module.class.method:error or tracing:module.function:error

start(event)#

• Name: tracing:${name}:start

The start event represents the point at which a function is called. At this point the event data may contain function arguments or anything else available at the very start of the execution of the function.

end(event)#

• Name: tracing:${name}:end

The end event represents the point at which a function call returns a value. In the case of an async function this is when the promise returned not when the function itself makes a return statement internally. At this point, if the traced function was synchronous the result field will be set to the return value of the function. Alternatively, the error field may be present to represent any thrown errors.

It is recommended to listen specifically to the error event to track errors as it may be possible for a traceable action to produce multiple errors. For example, an async task which fails may be started internally before the sync part of the task then throws an error.

asyncStart(event)#

• Name: tracing:${name}:asyncStart

The asyncStart event represents the callback or continuation of a traceable function being reached. At this point things like callback arguments may be available, or anything else expressing the "result" of the action.

For callbacks-based functions, the first argument of the callback will be assigned to the error field, if not undefined or null, and the second argument will be assigned to the result field.

For promises, the argument to the resolve path will be assigned to result or the argument to the reject path will be assign to error.

It is recommended to listen specifically to the error event to track errors as it may be possible for a traceable action to produce multiple errors. For example, an async task which fails may be started internally before the sync part of the task then throws an error.

asyncEnd(event)#

• Name: tracing:${name}:asyncEnd

The asyncEnd event represents the callback of an asynchronous function returning. It's not likely event data will change after the asyncStart event, however it may be useful to see the point where the callback completes.

error(event)#

• Name: tracing:${name}:error

The error event represents any error produced by the traceable function either synchronously or asynchronously. If an error is thrown in the synchronous portion of the traced function the error will be assigned to the error field of the event and the error event will be triggered. If an error is received asynchronously through a callback or promise rejection it will also be assigned to the error field of the event and trigger the error event.

It is possible for a single traceable function call to produce errors multiple times so this should be considered when consuming this event. For example, if another async task is triggered internally which fails and then the sync part of the function then throws and error two error events will be emitted, one for the sync error and one for the async error.
