node.js Event Loop Diagnostics

Question

Is it possible to peek at the event loop for diagnostics?

I would like to know how many events are currently waiting for execution (excluding setTimeout/interval).

NodeFly's agent monitors overall Node.js performance including the Event Loop. You can read a couple of blog entries taling about this functionality:
