LeanSentry features

  • External low-overhead monitoring. Collects data from IIS logs, performance counters, WMI and ETW without agents or profilers.
  • Automatic issue detection. Detects hangs, high CPU, memory leaks, crashes and provides code-level root cause.
  • Full-stack error tracking. Shows errors across IIS, ASP.NET, HTTP.SYS and application exceptions.
  • Performance analysis. Analyzes threading, lock contention, queueing and GC to suggest optimizations.
  • On-premise deployment. Option to host LeanSentry inside a locked-down environment with no outbound traffic.
  • Alerting & reporting. Sends notifications for slow pages, errors, low memory, high CPU and provides detailed diagnostics.

Pulsetic features

  • Regional Failure Confirmation. Checks are re-verified from multiple data centers before an alert is sent, preventing false alarms.
  • Multi-Channel Alerts. Phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, email, Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, webhooks and API.
  • Customizable Status Pages. Public or private pages on your own domain with branding, password or SSO protection.
  • Real User Monitoring (RUM). Measures LCP, CLS, INP, FCP and other metrics on real visitors, with 1,000 page views free per month.
  • Dependency & Service Monitoring. Email alerts when external services like Stripe or GitHub experience incidents.
  • AI Assistant. Ask plain-language questions about downtime and let the AI create, pause or open monitors.
