Send an alert to E-mail

Performance problems often occur in production code non-deterministically, and often the only diagnostics available are an error log or possibly a stack trace. With N|Solid's saved views, you can automatically capture critical information when problems arise in production.

With N|Solid's console, you can trigger actions based on very specific and customizable criteria that is consider critical in your environment. Like CPU spikes, memory leaking and blocked event loop.
