Key Features and Improvements
Enhanced Scatter Plot
Our next-gen scatter plot has been significantly upgraded, offering a powerful satellite view of your Node.js infrastructure. This improved perspective allows you to instantly detect outliers and performance patterns at a glance. The addition of a new global filter bar seamlessly connects every part of N|Solid, ensuring you maintain full context while navigating your application. Effortlessly identify outliers, transform them into global filters, and diagnose issues with greater ease and accuracy.
Global Filter Bar
The global filter bar is a standout new feature in N|Solid 6, maintaining its state as you move through the application. This feature saves filter history, allowing you to quickly resume or save helpful searches. The new dashboard view, combined with the global filter bar, lets you check security events, assets, and diagnose erratic behaviors seamlessly.
Improved Dashboard View
The new dashboard view summarizes what the global filter has selected, with grouping options to roll up by application or hostname. Metrics graphs connected to table rows can be changed to any of N|Solid runtime’s deep metrics, showing exact time ranges for easy comparison of patterns or spikes.
Historical Data Access
All pages showing historical data now share a unified date range tool. This, combined with the global filter bar, lets you browse any collected historical data, even for processes that are no longer live. Saved actions and alerts have also moved to the global filter bar, streamlining your workflow.
Advanced Configuration and Alerts
Global actions can now be configured via the global configuration menu. Set parameters and actions for high memory usage, vulnerability notifications, asset creation alerts, process crash reports, and more. The blocked event loop notifications provide a stack trace of blocked event loops, aiding in quick diagnosis and resolution.
Revamped Documentation
We’ve revamped our documentation from the ground up to match the new workflows of N|Solid 6. This comprehensive guide provides detailed descriptions of all metrics and assets collected, helping you make the most of N|Solid’s capabilities.
Open Source Runtime and OpenTelemetry Integration
The open-source N|Solid runtime continues to be the best and fastest means for using OpenTelemetry with Node.js, embedding the official library into the runtime for maximum performance and configurability. Enable or disable OpenTelemetry tracing during runtime right inside the dashboard for granular control over diagnostics overhead trade-offs.
Real-Time Security Insights
N|Solid 6 provides the best live and production view of your exposure (only the security issues in your project, not a list of every one) to publicly disclosed third-party security vulnerabilities. Automatically get a list of processes running a vulnerability within minutes of the report being filed, ensuring your systems stay secure.
AI Copilot for Smarter Diagnostics
Our AI Copilot is smarter than ever, providing quick paths to help you with your investigation. Trained on our documentation and our custom Node.js training content, it offers quick distillations of CPU profiles, helps you dive into your tracing data, and understand the context of the telemetry.
