# Node.js APM with AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Instructions on how to install the Retrace Linux Agent and Node.js APM on [AWS Elastic Beanstalk](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk).

## Add Profiler to Application

1. Add **stackify-node-apm** module.

```
$ npm install stackify-node-apm --save
```

1. Copy `node_modules/stackify-node-apm/stackify.js` into your application's root directory.
2. Modify `[application]/stackify.js` configuration to include your own **Application Name** and **Environment Name**.
3. Add `require('stackify-node-apm')` at the top of application's main module.

## Installing Stackify Linux Agent

1. Create a new file named **stackify.config** in your application’s **.ebextensions** folder. [Learn More about .ebextensions](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/ebextensions.html).
2. Add the following to your **stackify.config** file: Replace `[INSERT ACTIVATION KEY]` with your activation key value. Optionally you can include the device name by replacing the `[aliasname]` with the desired device alias. You can find your activation key under [Settings: Account](https://s1.stackify.com/Manage/AccountInfo).
