This is a very simple monitoring script that will monitor the latency of your API server. It simply makes a request to a HTTP or HTTPS path every 30 seconds and reports the latency to Instatus via their API. This is used in a metric graph.

There are a few prerequisites to run this project locally. You'll need:

• Node.js - this was built using Node.js v16.11
• All the dependencies in the package.json

Clone the repo to your system

To install the dependencies simply run npm install.

You'll then need to set up your environment variables.

Once you've installed the latency monitor, you'll need to run it. To run it, we'd recommend using a process manager like pm2.

We store secrets in a .env file stored in the root directory of the project - you can't see this file because it's in our .gitignore.
