When trying to install the AppDynamics package for monitoring a Node.js application, our Webpack build process is not able to import a handful of dependencies. Specifically, the errors output are:

Our project is set up with:
- Webpack v4.29.0
- Node.js v11.0.0
- Appdynamics v4.5
The Appdynamics usage is at the top of our server file as:
// AppDynamics monitoring require("appdynamics").profile({ controllerHostName: *** controllerPort: 443, controllerSslEnabled: true, accountName: **** accountAccessKey: *** applicationName: *** tierName: *** nodeName: '01' });
And our Webpack configuration is:
const path = require('path'); const webpack = require('webpack'); module.exports = { entry: { server: './server.ts' }, resolve: { extensions: ['.js', '.ts'] }, target: 'node', mode: 'development', // this makes sure we include node_modules and other 3rd party libraries externals: [/node_modules/], output: { path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'), filename: '[name].js' }, module: { rules: [{ test: /\.ts$/, loader: 'ts-loader' }] }, plugins: [ ] };
So far we have tried downgrading the Webpack version, downgrading the Node environment to 10.15, and using other import methods for the AppDynamics package, but this seems like an issue internal to the Appdynamics library?
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Or had success using the Appdynamics node package with Webpack?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I attempted to use the AppD NodeJS agent to monitor a single-page application (SPA) built on NodeJS using React - webpack . However, since these SPAs only use NodeJS as a building block and the communication between the frontend and backend is direct (not via the frontend server), the AppD BRUM monitoring is more suitable than the NodeJS agent for monitoring the necessary metrics.
