Express Actuator Endpoints

This module is an express middleware that exposes endpoints that somewhat mimic the behavior of Spring Boot Actuator

All responses are in JSON format.

Installation

npm i --S express-actuator-endpoints

Usage

import express from "express";
import actuator from "express-actuator-endpoints";
 
const app = express();
app.use(actuator());

Endpoints

Endpoint	Response
/health	Responds with a status of "UP" and a default description
/info	Responds with the last git commit info when used in conjunction with node-git-info-json
/env	Responds with process.env

Configuration

You can pass a configuration object to this middleware and the routes will serve any information you pass, along with the defaults. See example below:

import express from "express";
import actuator from "express-actuator-endpoints";
 
const actuatorConfig = {
  info: {
    gitInfo: "Some git info"
  },
  health: {
    description: "Jim's API"
  }
};
 
const app = express();
app.use(actuator(actuatorConfig));
