title: Is it possible to monitor / retrieve variable values in use on NodeJS server?
body: <p>What tools can you use to monitor or access data in use on a Node server? A comparison would be using the Javascript Console for a browser and being able to console.log a variable value to the console or execute methods. Is there something similar you can do with a NodeJS server?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: An example; if I deployed my server to an AWS ec2 instance could someone managing the datacenter theoretially access my server and monitor/view the data in use? If so, how?</p>
