Answer 1

If you only need to see URLs of outgoing traffic and what caused it, You can use debugging-aid

npm i -D debugging-aid
node --require debugging-aid/network app.js 

Resulting console output may look like this:

[aid] network, outgoing  to: http://example.com/
 stack:     at Agent.createSocket (_http_agent.js:234:26)
    at Agent.addRequest (_http_agent.js:193:10)
    at new ClientRequest (_http_client.js:277:16)
    at Object.request (http.js:44:10)
    at Request.start (myapp-path/node_modules/request/request.js:751:32)
    at Request.end (myapp-path/node_modules/request/request.js:1511:10)
