Neo4j is a highly scalable and flexible graph database, specifically designed to store, query, and manipulate complex relational data. It uses a graph data structure, consisting of nodes, relationships, and properties, to represent and store the connections between data. This approach allows Neo4j to be highly efficient in searching and analyzing data connections, making it ideal for use cases involving social networks, recommendations, complex data analysis, and pattern discovery. With its Cypher query language, Neo4j offers an expressive and intuitive syntax for performing powerful graph queries. Additionally, its scalable and distributed architecture allows it to handle large volumes of data and support demanding workloads. Neo4j is widely used in various industries, including finance, computer science, bioinformatics, and logistics, where the representation and analysis of complex relationships are essential.
How to Monitor Neo4j on the One Platform
To set up monitoring for Neo4j on the platform, follow these steps:
-
Go to the product application where you want to add Neo4j as a dependency in the platform.
-
Click on the “Products” menu and select the desired product card.
-
Then, click on the name of the specific application where you want to configure Neo4j monitoring.
-
Look for the section called “External Dependencies,” usually located just below the latency graph of the application.
-
To add an already registered dependency, type the name of the
dependency in the search field and select it when it appears in the
list. -
If Neo4j is not yet registered as a dependency, click on the green button with a plus (+) symbol to add a new dependency.
Click “Add” and a modal will
appear allowing you to name the database and select the Environment. In
the “Check type” field, choose the option “DB,” and in the “Method”
field, select “Neo4j.” After selecting the method, a field for the
Healthcheck URL will appear.
Below is an example of string for Neo4j:
ex: bolt://HOST:PORT@USER/PASSWORD
Note: For security reasons, it is not permitted to enter an IP in the healthcheck field. To monitor an IP, you need to enter it in a secret and use it in healthcheck
