pm_uptime unit

[giovanig]

Hello,

By issuing the command "pm2 prettylist" is possible to get the information about the current monitored process.

Within the generated json, we can get the number of restarts (restart_time) and the uptime (pm_uptime). My question is regarding the second, pm_uptime, what is the time unit? How can one get the current period (in hour or minute) a process is running?

For example: I am getting huge values, for instance, pm_uptime: 1740443604065 (I suppose this is timestamp). How to convert this to hours to have the uptime of that process for instance?

You're right, it's a timestamp in milliseconds of when the process started. You can do something like this to convert it into "uptime in seconds".

const uptime = Math.round((Date.now() - pm_uptime) / 1000)

One thing I noticed which is a little odd to me. If the service is down the uptime won't be 0 and will still be the timestamp in ms. Not sure if that's intentional or not but can add some logic to check for that

const uptime = status === 'online' ? Math.round((Date.now() - pm_uptime) / 1000) : 0,
