In order to connect PM2 to the dashboard, you need to add your public and private keys in the environment.
To add your keys, run:
heroku config:set PM2_PUBLIC_KEY=XXXXXXXXXX PM2_SECRET_KEY=YYYYY
You can access your keys at the top right of your dashboard
Set the server name in PM2 Plus
Set the PM2_MACHINE_NAME
environment variable to specify a server name:
heroku config:set PM2_MACHINE_NAME=heroku-server
The default server name is the hostname (HOST
environment variable) with a few random characters.
Be careful, in case of duplicate hostnames the dashboard will receive data from both instances and flicker.
