The Node-RED documentation is clear - set metrics to true to track flow execution and memory usage information. So, I stopped Node-RED with pm2, edited the settings.js file and started Node-RED. But, no metric output is seen in the .pm2/logs/red-out-1.log! The debug nodes in various flows in my application have been configured to output to console and they come correctly.

How to view the metrics?

  • Which settings file did you edit? Make sure it's the one in your userdir (pointed to in the first few lines of the Node-RED output at startup

You have edited the wrong settings.js file. The version in the node_modules/node-red directory is the template that gets copied to the User directory when Node-RED is started for the very first time.

When Node-RED starts it logs the settings file it is using as follows:

21 Jul 13:31:49 - [warn] ------------------------------------------------------
21 Jul 13:31:49 - [info] Settings file  : /home/hardillb/.node-red/settings.js
21 Jul 13:31:49 - [info] User directory : /home/hardillb/.node-red
21 Jul 13:31:49 - [warn] Projects disabled : set editorTheme.projects.enabled=true to enable
21 Jul 13:31:49 - [info] Flows file     : /home/hardillb/.node-red/flows_tiefighter.json
21 Jul 13:31:49 - [info] Server now running at http://127.0.0.1:1880/
