Monitor your Next.js apps in Atatus

1. Install the Atatus Node.js agent.
   npm install --save atatus-nodejs
   
2. You need to add NODE_OPTIONS='-r atatus-nodejs/start-next.js' to enable Atatus auto instrumentation for the Next.js backend. If you start your Next.js app using package.json, you can update your dev and start npm scripts as follows:
     // package.json
     {
       // ...
       "scripts": {
         "dev": "NODE_OPTIONS='-r atatus-nodejs/start-next.js' next dev",
         "build": "next build",
         "start": "NODE_OPTIONS='-r atatus-nodejs/start-next.js' next start",
         "lint": "next lint"
       },
       // ...
     }
   
   If you use a different process manager (e.g. PM2), set NODE_OPTIONS accordingly:
   NODE_OPTIONS='-r atatus-nodejs/start-next.js' next start
   
3. Set the license key and app name using environment variables:
   export ATATUS_LICENSE_KEY="YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
   export ATATUS_APP_NAME="YOUR_APP_NAME"
   export ATATUS_NOTIFY_HOST="YOUR_ON_PREMISE_URL"
   export ATATUS_ANALYTICS=true
   export ATATUS_ANALYTICS_CAPTURE_OUTGOING=true
   export ATATUS_LOG_BODY="all"
   
4. Restart your Next.js server. Restart the server and send a few requests. Your application metrics will appear in the Atatus dashboard within minutes.
