Node js memory usage with clusters

Question

I have an application written in Node using many features such as the cluster module.

I need to know the memory usage of my app on a specific time, what I am thinking of is looping through the active workers and sum the output of all of them but I don't know if the output value will be correct. any one here can help me please?

In fact I can't seem also to know the true meanings of the three "rss","heapTotal","heapUsed" mean.. I googled it and what I found is what important to monitor is "heapTotal" & "heapUsed", is this correct?

RSS is the resident set size, the portion of the process's memory held in RAM (as opposed to the swap space or the part held in the filesystem).

The heap is the portion of memory from which newly allocated objects will come from (think of malloc in C, or new in JavaScript).

Good Tutorial

Happy Helping!
