Monitor ASP.NET MVC and WebAPI Easily with Loupe

Loupe makes it easy to monitor what's happening inside your ASP.NET Web Site in a way that can't be seen from the outside by Google Analytics or log file analyzers. In addition to the extensive session data it collects for any .NET app, Loupe integrates with the ASP.NET MVC and Web API request pipeline so it can capture performance and exception information unique to ASP.NET

Record Exceptions in Context

When exceptions occur, you want to be able to address them quickly and completely. Loupe captures details of any unhandled exception and helps you categorize and analyze them. You can easily log additional exceptions and data that you capture and handle before they get to ASP.NET to make sure that even if your web site was able to recover from the problem you know about it.

These errors are recorded along with user information and a range of ASP.NET events so you can see the context they occurred in. Perhaps they only happen when two users hit the site after it has been recycled or maybe they're a symptom of a permissions problem. We capture a range of ASP.NET events to make sure you can see the whole picture, easily, and in production.

Relate Errors and Events to Your User Database

Because Loupe understands ASP.NET, it knows that not everything happens under a generic service account. When you use an authentication provider for ASP.NET Loupe is able to relate errors and other key session events and activities to the real login that the page was being processed for. This way when trying to understand why Bob@somecompany.com is having trouble on your site you aren't guessing which events relate to him.

Insight You Can't Get from Web Logs or Google Analytics

You can learn a lot from the many tools out there that process your web server logs or have you register a script to run on every page hit, but these can't show you what's happening inside ASP.NET for each request.
