Rate limiting is a critical technique employed in many NodeJs applications to control the number of requests a user or client can make within a specific time period. It helps prevent abuse, ensures fair usage of resources, and maintains application stability. Monitoring when a user is being rate-limited is crucial to identify potential issues, ensure the proper functioning of your application, and provide a smooth user experience.
Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for rate limiting in your NodeJs application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track when users are being rate-limited in real-time and receive immediate alerts when rate-limiting events occur.
To begin monitoring rate limiting for users in your NodeJs application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:
Integrating Saashound into your NodeJs application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking rate-limiting events for users. Remember to replace API_TOKEN
with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.
const axios = require('axios');async function logEvent() { const apiUrl = 'https://api.saashound.co/log-event'; const jsonPayload = JSON.stringify({ project: "my-project", channel: "user-activity", event: "User Rate Limited", description: "User ID 12345 is being rate-limited.", icon: "âł", notify: true, });
try { const response = await axios.post(apiUrl, jsonPayload, { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', Authorization: 'Bearer API_TOKEN', }, });
if (response.status === 200) { console.log('Log event sent successfully!'); } else { console.log('Failed to send log event. Response code:', response.status); } } catch (error) { console.error('Error sending log event:', error.message); }}
