How to find out the % CPU usage for Node.js process?

Question

Is there a way to find out the cpu usage in % for a node.js process via code. So that when the node.js application is running on the server and detects the CPU exceeds certain %

Answer 1

You can use the os module now.

var os = require('os');
var loads = os.loadavg();

This gives you the load average for the last 60seconds, 5minutes and 15minutes. This doesnt give you the cpu usage as a % though.
