## Performance measurement APIs#

Stability: 2 - Stable

Source Code: lib/perf_hooks.js

This module provides an implementation of a subset of the W3C Web Performance APIs as well as additional APIs for Node.js-specific performance measurements.

Node.js supports the following Web Performance APIs:

- High Resolution Time
- Performance Timeline
- User Timing
- Resource Timing

    import { performance, PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      console.log(items.getEntries()[0].duration);
      performance.clearMarks();
    });
    obs.observe({ type: 'measure' });
    performance.measure('Start to Now');

    performance.mark('A');
    doSomeLongRunningProcess(() => {
      performance.measure('A to Now', 'A');

      performance.mark('B');
      performance.measure('A to B', 'A', 'B');
    });const { PerformanceObserver, performance } = require('node:perf_hooks');

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      console.log(items.getEntries()[0].duration);
    });
    obs.observe({ type: 'measure' });
    performance.measure('Start to Now');

    performance.mark('A');
    (async function doSomeLongRunningProcess() {
      await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 5000));
      performance.measure('A to Now', 'A');

      performance.mark('B');
      performance.measure('A to B', 'A', 'B');
    })();

### `perf_hooks.performance`#

Added in: v8.5.0

An object that can be used to collect performance metrics from the current Node.js instance. It is similar to `window.performance` in browsers.

#### `performance.clearMarks([name])`#

History

Version | Changes
--- | ---
v19.0.0 | This method must be called with the `performance` object as the receiver.
v8.5.0 | Added in: v8.5.0

- `name` <string>

If `name` is not provided, removes all `PerformanceMark` objects from the Performance Timeline. If `name` is provided, removes only the named mark.

#### `performance.clearMeasures([name])`#

History

Version | Changes
--- | ---
v19.0.0 | This method must be called with the `performance` object as the receiver.
v16.7.0 | Added in: v16.7.0

- `name` <string>

If `name` is not provided, removes all `PerformanceMeasure` objects from the Performance Timeline. If `name` is provided, removes only the named measure.

#### `performance.clearResourceTimings([name])`#

History

Version | Changes
--- | ---
v19.0.0 | This method must be called with the `performance` object as the receiver.
v18.2.0, v16.17.0 | Added in: v18.2.0, v16.17.0

- `name` <string>

If `name` is not provided, removes all `PerformanceResourceTiming` objects from the Resource Timeline. If `name` is provided, removes only the named resource.

#### `performance.eventLoopUtilization([utilization1[, utilization2]])`#

Added in: v14.10.0, v12.19.0

- `utilization1` <Object> The result of a previous call to `eventLoopUtilization()`.
- `utilization2` <Object> The result of a previous call to `eventLoopUtilization()` prior to `utilization1`.
- Returns: <Object>
  - `idle` <number>
  - `active` <number>
  - `utilization` <number>

The `eventLoopUtilization()` method returns an object that contains the cumulative duration of time the event loop has been both idle and active as a high resolution milliseconds timer. The `utilization` value is the calculated Event Loop Utilization (ELU).

If bootstrapping has not yet finished on the main thread the properties have the value of `0`. The ELU is immediately available on Worker threads since bootstrap happens within the event loop.

Both `utilization1` and `utilization2` are optional parameters.

If `utilization1` is passed, then the delta between the current call's `active` and `idle` times, as well as the corresponding `utilization` value are calculated and returned (similar to `process.hrtime()`).

If `utilization1` and `utilization2` are both passed, then the delta is calculated between the two arguments. This is a convenience option because, unlike `process.hrtime()`, calculating the ELU is more complex than a single subtraction.

ELU is similar to CPU utilization, except that it only measures event loop statistics and not CPU usage. It represents the percentage of time the event loop has spent outside the event loop's event provider (e.g. `epoll_wait`). No other CPU idle time is taken into consideration. The following is an example of how a mostly idle process will have a high ELU.

    import { eventLoopUtilization } from 'node:perf_hooks';
    import { spawnSync } from 'node:child_process';

    setImmediate(() => {
      const elu = eventLoopUtilization();
      spawnSync('sleep', ['5']);
      console.log(eventLoopUtilization(elu).utilization);
    });'use strict';
    const { eventLoopUtilization } = require('node:perf_hooks').performance;
    const { spawnSync } = require('node:child_process');

    setImmediate(() => {
      const elu = eventLoopUtilization();
      spawnSync('sleep', ['5']);
      console.log(eventLoopUtilization(elu).utilization);
    });

Although the CPU is mostly idle while running this script, the value of `utilization` is `1`. This is because the call to `child_process.spawnSync()` blocks the event loop from proceeding.

Passing in a user-defined object instead of the result of a previous call to `eventLoopUtilization()` will lead to undefined behavior. The return values are not guaranteed to reflect any correct state of the event loop.

Creates a new `PerformanceMark` entry in the Performance Timeline. A `PerformanceMark` is a subclass of `PerformanceEntry` whose `performanceEntry.entryType` is always `'mark'`, and whose `performanceEntry.duration` is always `0`. Performance marks are used to mark specific significant moments in the Performance Timeline.

The created `PerformanceMark` entry is put in the global Performance Timeline and can be queried with `performance.getEntries`, `performance.getEntriesByName`, and `performance.getEntriesByType`. When the observation is performed, the entries should be cleared from the global Performance Timeline manually with `performance.clearMarks`.

#### `performance.markResourceTiming(timingInfo, requestedUrl, initiatorType, global, cacheMode, bodyInfo, responseStatus[, deliveryType])`#

History

Version | Changes
--- | ---
v22.2.0 | Added bodyInfo, responseStatus, and deliveryType arguments.
v18.2.0, v16.17.0 | Added in: v18.2.0, v16.17.0

This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.

Creates a new `PerformanceResourceTiming` entry in the Resource Timeline. A `PerformanceResourceTiming` is a subclass of `PerformanceEntry` whose `performanceEntry.entryType` is always `'resource'`. Performance resources are used to mark moments in the Resource Timeline.

The created `PerformanceMark` entry is put in the global Resource Timeline and can be queried with `performance.getEntries`, `performance.getEntriesByName`, and `performance.getEntriesByType`. When the observation is performed, the entries should be cleared from the global Performance Timeline manually with `performance.clearResourceTimings`.

  - `duration` <number> Duration between start and end times.
  - `end` <number> | <string> Timestamp to be used as the end time, or a string identifying a previously recorded mark.
  - `start` <number> | <string> Timestamp to be used as the start time, or a string identifying a previously recorded mark.
- `endMark` <string> Optional. Must be omitted if `startMarkOrOptions` is an <Object>.

Creates a new `PerformanceMeasure` entry in the Performance Timeline. A `PerformanceMeasure` is a subclass of `PerformanceEntry` whose `performanceEntry.entryType` is always `'measure'`, and whose `performanceEntry.duration` measures the number of milliseconds elapsed since `startMark` and `endMark`.

The `startMark` argument may identify any existing `PerformanceMark` in the Performance Timeline, or may identify any of the timestamp properties provided by the `PerformanceNodeTiming` class. If the named `startMark` does not exist, an error is thrown.

The optional `endMark` argument must identify any existing `PerformanceMark` in the Performance Timeline or any of the timestamp properties provided by the `PerformanceNodeTiming` class. `endMark` will be `performance.now()` if no parameter is passed, otherwise if the named `endMark` does not exist, an error will be thrown.

The created `PerformanceMeasure` entry is put in the global Performance Timeline and can be queried with `performance.getEntries`, `performance.getEntriesByName`, and `performance.getEntriesByType`. When the observation is performed, the entries should be cleared from the global Performance Timeline manually with `performance.clearMeasures`.

- `fn` <Function>
- `options` <Object>
  - `histogram` <RecordableHistogram> A histogram object created using `perf_hooks.createHistogram()` that will record runtime durations in nanoseconds.

This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.

Wraps a function within a new function that measures the running time of the wrapped function. A `PerformanceObserver` must be subscribed to the `'function'` event type in order for the timing details to be accessed.

    import { performance, PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    function someFunction() {
      console.log('hello world');
    }

    const wrapped = performance.timerify(someFunction);

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
      console.log(list.getEntries()[0].duration);

      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      obs.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['function'] });

    // A performance timeline entry will be created
    wrapped();const {
      performance,
      PerformanceObserver,
    } = require('node:perf_hooks');

    function someFunction() {
      console.log('hello world');
    }

    const wrapped = performance.timerify(someFunction);

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
      console.log(list.getEntries()[0].duration);

      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      obs.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['function'] });

    // A performance timeline entry will be created
    wrapped();

If the wrapped function returns a promise, a finally handler will be attached to the promise and the duration will be reported once the finally handler is invoked.

### Class: `PerformanceNodeTiming`#

Added in: v8.5.0

- Extends: <PerformanceEntry>

This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.

Provides timing details for Node.js itself. The constructor of this class is not exposed to users.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.bootstrapComplete`#

Added in: v8.5.0

- Type: <number>

The high resolution millisecond timestamp at which the Node.js process completed bootstrapping. If bootstrapping has not yet finished, the property has the value of -1.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.environment`#

Added in: v8.5.0

- Type: <number>

The high resolution millisecond timestamp at which the Node.js environment was initialized.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.idleTime`#

Added in: v14.10.0, v12.19.0

- Type: <number>

The high resolution millisecond timestamp of the amount of time the event loop has been idle within the event loop's event provider (e.g. `epoll_wait`). This does not take CPU usage into consideration. If the event loop has not yet started (e.g., in the first tick of the main script), the property has the value of 0.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.loopExit`#

Added in: v8.5.0

- Type: <number>

The high resolution millisecond timestamp at which the Node.js event loop exited. If the event loop has not yet exited, the property has the value of -1. It can only have a value of not -1 in a handler of the `'exit'` event.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.loopStart`#

Added in: v8.5.0

- Type: <number>

The high resolution millisecond timestamp at which the Node.js event loop started. If the event loop has not yet started (e.g., in the first tick of the main script), the property has the value of -1.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.nodeStart`#

Added in: v8.5.0

- Type: <number>

The high resolution millisecond timestamp at which the Node.js process was initialized.

#### `performanceNodeTiming.uvMetricsInfo`#

Added in: v22.8.0

- Returns: <Object>
  - `loopCount` <number> Number of event loop iterations.
  - `events` <number> Number of events that have been processed by the event handler.
  - `eventsWaiting` <number> Number of events that were waiting to be processed when the event provider was called.

This is a wrapper to the `uv_metrics_info` function. It returns the current set of event loop metrics.

It is recommended to use this property inside a function whose execution was scheduled using `setImmediate` to avoid collecting metrics before finishing all operations scheduled during the current loop iteration.

    const { performance } = require('node:perf_hooks');

    setImmediate(() => {
      console.log(performance.nodeTiming.uvMetricsInfo);
    });import { performance } from 'node:perf_hooks';

#### `new PerformanceObserver(callback)`#

History

Version | Changes
--- | ---
v18.0.0 | Passing an invalid callback to the `callback` argument now throws `ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE` instead of `ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK`.
v8.5.0 | Added in: v8.5.0

- `callback` <Function>
  - `list` <PerformanceObserverEntryList>
  - `observer` <PerformanceObserver>

`PerformanceObserver` objects provide notifications when new `PerformanceEntry` instances have been added to the Performance Timeline.

    import { performance, PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
      console.log(list.getEntries());

      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      observer.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['mark'], buffered: true });

    performance.mark('test');const {
      performance,
      PerformanceObserver,
    } = require('node:perf_hooks');

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
      console.log(list.getEntries());

      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      observer.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['mark'], buffered: true });

    performance.mark('test');

Because `PerformanceObserver` instances introduce their own additional performance overhead, instances should not be left subscribed to notifications indefinitely. Users should disconnect observers as soon as they are no longer needed.

The `callback` is invoked when a `PerformanceObserver` is notified about new `PerformanceEntry` instances. The callback receives a `PerformanceObserverEntryList` instance and a reference to the `PerformanceObserver`.

#### `performanceObserver.disconnect()`#

Added in: v8.5.0

Disconnects the `PerformanceObserver` instance from all notifications.

#### `performanceObserver.observe(options)`#

History

Version | Changes
--- | ---
v16.7.0 | Updated to conform to Performance Timeline Level 2. The buffered option has been added back.
v16.0.0 | Updated to conform to User Timing Level 3. The buffered option has been removed.
v8.5.0 | Added in: v8.5.0

- `options` <Object>
  - `type` <string> A single <PerformanceEntry> type. Must not be given if `entryTypes` is already specified.
  - `entryTypes` <string[]> An array of strings identifying the types of <PerformanceEntry> instances the observer is interested in. If not provided an error will be thrown.
  - `buffered` <boolean> If true, the observer callback is called with a list global `PerformanceEntry` buffered entries. If false, only `PerformanceEntry`s created after the time point are sent to the observer callback. Default: `false`.

Subscribes the <PerformanceObserver> instance to notifications of new <PerformanceEntry> instances identified either by `options.entryTypes` or `options.type`:

    import { performance, PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
      // Called once asynchronously. `list` contains three items.
    });
    obs.observe({ type: 'mark' });

    for (let n = 0; n < 3; n++)
      performance.mark(`test${n}`);const {
      performance,
      PerformanceObserver,
    } = require('node:perf_hooks');

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
      // Called once asynchronously. `list` contains three items.
    });
    obs.observe({ type: 'mark' });

    for (let n = 0; n < 3; n++)
      performance.mark(`test${n}`);

#### `performanceObserver.takeRecords()`#

Added in: v16.0.0

- Returns: <PerformanceEntry[]> Current list of entries stored in the performance observer, emptying it out.

### `perf_hooks.createHistogram([options])`#

Added in: v15.9.0, v14.18.0

- `options` <Object>
  - `lowest` <number> | <bigint> The lowest discernible value. Must be an integer value greater than 0. Default: `1`.
  - `highest` <number> | <bigint> The highest recordable value. Must be an integer value that is equal to or greater than two times `lowest`. Default: `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`.
  - `figures` <number> The number of accuracy digits. Must be a number between `1` and `5`. Default: `3`.
- Returns: <RecordableHistogram>

Returns a <RecordableHistogram>.

### `perf_hooks.monitorEventLoopDelay([options])`#

Added in: v11.10.0

- `options` <Object>
  - `resolution` <number> The sampling rate in milliseconds. Must be greater than zero. Default: `10`.
- Returns: <IntervalHistogram>

This property is an extension by Node.js. It is not available in Web browsers.

Creates an `IntervalHistogram` object that samples and reports the event loop delay over time. The delays will be reported in nanoseconds.

Using a timer to detect approximate event loop delay works because the execution of timers is tied specifically to the lifecycle of the libuv event loop. That is, a delay in the loop will cause a delay in the execution of the timer, and those delays are specifically what this API is intended to detect.

    import { monitorEventLoopDelay } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    const h = monitorEventLoopDelay({ resolution: 20 });

### Examples#

#### Measuring the duration of async operations#

The following example uses the Async Hooks and Performance APIs to measure the actual duration of a Timeout operation (including the amount of time it took to execute the callback).

    import { createHook } from 'node:async_hooks';
    import { performance, PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    const set = new Set();
    const hook = createHook({
      init(id, type) {
        if (type === 'Timeout') {
          performance.mark(`Timeout-${id}-Init`);
          set.add(id);
        }
      },
      destroy(id) {
        if (set.has(id)) {
          set.delete(id);
          performance.mark(`Timeout-${id}-Destroy`);
          performance.measure(`Timeout-${id}`,
                              `Timeout-${id}-Init`,
                              `Timeout-${id}-Destroy`);
        }
      },
    });
    hook.enable();

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
      console.log(list.getEntries()[0]);
      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      observer.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['measure'], buffered: true });

    setTimeout(() => {}, 1000);'use strict';
    const async_hooks = require('node:async_hooks');
    const {
      performance,
      PerformanceObserver,
    } = require('node:perf_hooks');

    const set = new Set();
    const hook = async_hooks.createHook({
      init(id, type) {
        if (type === 'Timeout') {
          performance.mark(`Timeout-${id}-Init`);
          set.add(id);
        }
      },
      destroy(id) {
        if (set.has(id)) {
          set.delete(id);
          performance.mark(`Timeout-${id}-Destroy`);
          performance.measure(`Timeout-${id}`,
                              `Timeout-${id}-Init`,
                              `Timeout-${id}-Destroy`);
        }
      },
    });
    hook.enable();

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
      console.log(list.getEntries()[0]);
      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      observer.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['measure'] });

    setTimeout(() => {}, 1000);

#### Measuring how long it takes to load dependencies#

The following example measures the duration of `require()` operations to load dependencies:

    import { performance, PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';

    // Activate the observer
    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
      const entries = list.getEntries();
      entries.forEach((entry) => {
        console.log(`import('${entry[0]}')`, entry.duration);
      });
      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      obs.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['function'], buffered: true });

    const timedImport = performance.timerify(async (module) => {
      return await import(module);
    });

    await timedImport('some-module');'use strict';
    const {
      performance,
      PerformanceObserver,
    } = require('node:perf_hooks');
    const mod = require('node:module');

    // Monkey patch the require function
    mod.Module.prototype.require =
      performance.timerify(mod.Module.prototype.require);
    require = performance.timerify(require);

    // Activate the observer
    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
      const entries = list.getEntries();
      entries.forEach((entry) => {
        console.log(`require('${entry[0]}')`, entry.duration);
      });
      performance.clearMarks();
      performance.clearMeasures();
      obs.disconnect();
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['function'] });

    require('some-module');

#### Measuring how long one HTTP round-trip takes#

The following example is used to trace the time spent by HTTP client (`OutgoingMessage`) and HTTP request (`IncomingMessage`). For HTTP client, it means the time interval between starting the request and receiving the response, and for HTTP request, it means the time interval between receiving the request and sending the response:

    import { PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';
    import { createServer, get } from 'node:http';

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      items.getEntries().forEach((item) => {
        console.log(item);
      });
    });

    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['http'] });

    const PORT = 8080;

    createServer((req, res) => {
      res.end('ok');
    }).listen(PORT, () => {
      get(`http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}`);
    });'use strict';
    const { PerformanceObserver } = require('node:perf_hooks');
    const http = require('node:http');

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      items.getEntries().forEach((item) => {
        console.log(item);
      });
    });

    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['http'] });

    const PORT = 8080;

    http.createServer((req, res) => {
      res.end('ok');
    }).listen(PORT, () => {
      http.get(`http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}`);
    });

#### Measuring how long the `net.connect` (only for TCP) takes when the connection is successful#

    import { PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';
    import { connect, createServer } from 'node:net';

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      items.getEntries().forEach((item) => {
        console.log(item);
      });
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['net'] });
    const PORT = 8080;
    createServer((socket) => {
      socket.destroy();
    }).listen(PORT, () => {
      connect(PORT);
    });'use strict';
    const { PerformanceObserver } = require('node:perf_hooks');
    const net = require('node:net');
    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      items.getEntries().forEach((item) => {
        console.log(item);
      });
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['net'] });
    const PORT = 8080;
    net.createServer((socket) => {
      socket.destroy();
    }).listen(PORT, () => {
      net.connect(PORT);
    });

#### Measuring how long the DNS takes when the request is successful#

    import { PerformanceObserver } from 'node:perf_hooks';
    import { lookup, promises } from 'node:dns';

    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      items.getEntries().forEach((item) => {
        console.log(item);
      });
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['dns'] });
    lookup('localhost', () => {});
    promises.resolve('localhost');'use strict';
    const { PerformanceObserver } = require('node:perf_hooks');
    const dns = require('node:dns');
    const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => {
      items.getEntries().forEach((item) => {
        console.log(item);
      });
    });
    obs.observe({ entryTypes: ['dns'] });
    dns.lookup('localhost', () => {});
    dns.promises.resolve('localhost');
