Using Node Inspector with multiple node processes

I started using Node Inspector to debug some of my Node applications. However, one thing i am not sure how to do is, once Node-inspector is attached to one Node app, how to detach and attach it to another Node app running on same box?

can i attach to multiple processes at the same time?

First, start your node programs with different debug ports like so:

$ node script1.js --debug==5858
$ node script2.js --debug==5859

Then start node-inspector

$ node-inspector &

and open the web console in two tabs with

  1. http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5858
  2. http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5859
