Using Express with custom router

[sebastianhoitz]

In my app I'm using Express with a catch-all route, that then gets interpreted by https://github.com/kieran/barista. So all my requests show up in New Relic as GET *.

What possibility do I have to instrument the router or to help newrelic figure out the route actual route being used?

Take a look at the instructions for using the API to name transactions. You'll want to either use rules to rename URLs to paths, or figure out how to monkeypatch barista to call .setTransactionName(name) / .setControllerName(controller,action) once it's determined the mapping for a given request.

There are a thousand routers on npm, and it's pretty unlikely we'll auto-instrument most of them, but if you're interested in seeing support for barista added to New Relic for Node, let [email protected] know so it can make its way onto the roadmap.

Thanks for getting in touch, and I hope my answers are useful!
