Debug production issues without reproducing them.
When production breaks, logs rarely tell the whole story—you reproduce locally or add logging and wait for the next deploy. ArgusLogs captures execution context automatically so you investigate from evidence: exceptions, SQL, HTTP, and trace correlation in ArgusLogs.UI—without attaching a debugger to live servers.
The problem
Generic log lines miss the SQL, outbound HTTP, and parameters that explain a failure. Teams lose time reproducing issues that already happened in production.
The solution
ArgusLogs instruments .NET applications to capture structured context around each request—method entry, database commands, HttpClient calls, and exceptions in one forensic timeline.
The outcome
Understand what happened, investigate by trace ID, and resolve incidents from facts captured at failure time—without shipping new diagnostic logging for every unknown.
Technical differentiation
Powered by compile-time IL weaving and automatic instrumentation. Aspects and configuration hold the mechanics; business code stays focused on domain logic.
Recommended practices
Use TieredStorage for high-volume retention, cap query limits in ArgusLogs.UI, enable authentication on /argus-logs in production, and follow the best-practices guide for retention and payload size.
What is ArgusLogs?
ArgusLogs is a production debugging and observability platform for .NET applications. It captures method, SQL, HTTP, and exception context through automatic compile-time instrumentation so teams can investigate production incidents without reproducing bugs or sprinkling manual log statements through business code.
Who is ArgusLogs for?
ArgusLogs is built for .NET developers debugging production systems, tech leads and engineering managers who need faster incident resolution, and CTOs or engineering directors who want production reliability without heavyweight SaaS agents on every .NET host.
What does ArgusLogs capture?
Where supported by your configuration and integrations, ArgusLogs records structured telemetry including API and HTTP traffic, request parameters, SQL from EF Core and ADO.NET, exceptions, trace IDs, and method entry/exit metadata.
How is ArgusLogs different?
Traditional logging depends on developers predicting what to log before an incident. ArgusLogs uses compile-time instrumentation to capture execution context automatically—parameters, SQL, HTTP, and exceptions in one correlated view—without sprinkling LogInformation calls through business code.
