## What it is
A self-hosted Express middleware that adds a realtime status monitoring page to Node.js/Express applications, built on Socket.io and Chart.js. It reports server metrics like CPU, memory, event loop lag, response times, requests per second, and status codes, with optional health checks.

## Use cases
- monitor my express app's cpu and memory in realtime
- add a /status dashboard to a node.js server
- track requests per second and response times for an express api
- set up health checks for my node service endpoints
- self-hosted monitoring page for a nodejs app
- watch event loop lag and heap usage in express

## When to choose
- you run an Express (or compatible Node.js) app and want a quick, zero-infrastructure status dashboard
- you want lightweight in-process metrics without deploying Prometheus/Grafana
- you need simple HTTP health checks displayed alongside server metrics

## When to avoid
- you need distributed tracing, alerting, or metrics across many services/hosts
- your app is not Express-based (consider koa-monitor or hapijs-status-monitor instead)
- you need long-term metric retention or historical analysis - data is kept in memory only

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, middleware, websocket, charts
- domain: monitoring, web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: express, status-page, health-checks, socket-io, chart-js, observability, realtime-metrics, real-time, nodejs, web-server
