How to Set Up Tideways on Hypernode

Tideways is an application performance profiling and monitoring tool. On Hypernode you can enable Tideways in minutes using the CLI and control panel.

Prerequisites

A Tideways account and project. Create a new project in Tideways and note the project API key.

How to Activate Tideways

Activation Via the CLI

First, enable Tideways and set your project API key:

hypernode-systemctl settings tideways_enabled True
hypernode-systemctl settings tideways_api_key <api_key_here>

After enabling, it can take a short while for data to appear in Tideways. We recommend generating some traffic on your shop to produce samples.

Optional: Configure Sample Rate

Sampling controls the percentage of requests that will be stored in Tideways, which helps manage cost. For example, to store 25% of samples:

hypernode-systemctl settings tideways_sample_rate 25

Optional: Set Environment Name

You can assign an environment label (for example when this node is a staging server):

hypernode-systemctl settings tideways_env_name staging

Activation through Control Panel

It’s also possible to configure Tideways in the Control Panel.

Go to your Hypernode in the Control Panel
Click Settings
Go to the tab Performance & Monitoring
Enable the toggle for Tideways, and set your API key in Tideways API key
