Barad-dur

Barad-dur is a tool designed for NestJS projects that provides a comprehensive log of queries in the TypeORM ORM.

Features

• Track which specific APIs and queries are called by a user and in which functions they are executed.
• Store the average speed of the queries.
• Track the number of query executions to detect queries that are stuck in loops.
• Store the average speed of APIs.

• Track the number of API executions to isolate and scale specific microservices.

Installation

npm i barad-dur

Configuration

To configure Barad-dur, you need to integrate it into your NestJS project as shown below:

@Module({
  imports: [
    ...,
    BaradDurModule.register({
      url: 'redis://YOUR_REDIS_IP',  // redis_url
      password: 'YOUR_REDIS_PASSWORD',   // redis_password
      tracking: {
        socketPort: 9191,
        fetchKeyFromToken: string | (req:express.Request) => string, // 'YOUR_CLAIM_IN_TOKEN'
      }
    }),
    ...
   ],
   ...
})
export class AppModule { }

Redis Dependency

This tool requires Redis to track query timings. The Redis connection is configured using the provided url and password values.

Tracking

Tracking also requires a socket connection. A client listening on the other end will receive the tracking data for the user.

Log Viewer

To display the logs, you'll need a separate application that receives the logs and transforms them into a UI for visualization. You can get such a program from the following repository:

Simply set up the environment for this project by pointing it to your own project's address and use the same port that was set in the configuration.
