Cheaper alternatives to New Relic?

Sorry to hear that New Relic pricing isn't working for you. We realize that for some nonprofits, startups or personal projects, our paid plans may not make sense I'm curious why you aren't considering RPM Lite, which is always free, and provides a superset of the metrics you are looking for (including response time breakdown for every controller action in your app...) Is it that you want a longer data retention period, or is there some other reason? If you want to store app summary data for a longer period of time, you could use our free REST API to collect the summary data and store it in the persistence engine of your choice We definitely want RPM Lite to be useful for those who can't afford our paid products, not just one of those free things that people don't use One last thought: if you use Heroku or Engine Yard, you can get RPM bronze for free in that environment.

Look out for more partnerships for Ruby and other stacks in the future Cheers Lew Cirne Founder and CEO New Relic.

5 I personally think that a longer data retention period would definitely make the Lite version useful. It should be a few hours, and probably 24. 30 minutes is almost useless.

I'm sold. – Ilya Vassilevsky Aug 29 at 16:07.

The new relic lite would have much more sence if it would access more than last 30 min of application state. Therefore last 30 min arent enough for solid reporting. We use Lite for monitoring two rails apps.

Our proffit from them isnt so big so we would be able to pay for paid plan. Lite is OK for performance monitoring (only). The only problem what we have is that last 30 min just isnt enough for us.

New Relic is definately the best solution on the market. They don't have (strong) concurency, but it doesn't mean that sooner or later there won't be. Users are everything.

In newrelic development version, I can see the time and the breakup for the recent requests, whereas in the production lite/standard version I can only see the top 20 slow requests. Is there any way I can see the time for any request/ recent requests.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
