Using the [email protected] as my test application, after sending a GET request to the base route of the application, I receive this error:

@tobespc ----^ I haven't reproed, I'll try after looking at some other fires

[sam-github]

It looks like this may have been a bad packaging of apiconnect

[sam-github]

I reopened, because I think #216 is just a work-around, and that something unexpected is happening we need to figure out.

I don't see a 'response' in the express data emitted, am I missing something?
https://github.com/RuntimeTools/appmetrics/blob/master/probes/express-probe.js#L82-L89
Perhaps this got rewritten at some point?

[sjanuary]

Yes, it looks like the express probe was refactored at some point. RuntimeTools/appmetrics#260

As long as strong-supervisor is getting all the express data it needs from appmetrics I would say we can just delete that check

i.e. remove the whole of if (probeName === 'express'...
and just have var duration = res.duration;

[sam-github]

supervisor is getting what it needs, but that isn't quite enough. If this is related to RuntimeTools/appmetrics#260, it probably means that the structure of the data is different when the user's app includes https://www.npmjs.com/package/strong-express-metrics, and perhaps that the probe name is wrong? strong-express-metrics is a bit odd, its something that the user manually adds as middleware, and which then sends extra information up the stack: appmetrics -> supervisor -> strong-pm -> strong-arc. Whether its there or not, supervisor should still work.
