ProcInsp is windows process and stack explorer with web UI. ProcInsp shows list of running processes on multiple (remote) servers. You can drill down into the CLR-process and watch running threads with their stacktraces. ProcInsp also allows to watch current executing requests on IIS AppPools (w3wp workers).

Servers and procs

Features

• Displays RAM and CPU usage of connected servers
• Displays info about running processes on all connected servers (RAM, CPU, start time etc)
• For IIS processes - the name of apppool is displayed
• Kibana integration - user can view logs of desired process (logs are filtered by host name and process id; Kibana url in configurable)

Threads and requests

Features

• Displays currently running requests (only for IIS processes)
• Displays all running threads of process
• App's entry point in stacktrace is shown as thread's name (which frame should be considered as entry point is configurable)
• If exception in thread occured, exception info is displayed (exception type, message and stacktrace)
• Kibana integration - user can view logs of desired thread (logs are filtered by host name, process and thread ids; Kibana url in configurable)

Stacktrace

Features

• Highlight app's entry point in stacktrace (which frame should be considered as entry point is configurable)

API

ProcInsp has public API, which returns results in JSON.

Full documentation is available at /swagger/index.html (after app is started).

Known limitations

• Shows threads and stacktraces only for CLR processes with the same bitness as running web api server
• Shows only thread IDs and some other basic info for non CLR processes
• Web-requests are shown only for IIS web server

Repository structure

• ProcInsp - web application and api's
• ProcInsp.Tests - tests
• Other projects are just for testing purposes

Run

• You can run application from VS Code (F5)
• Or dotnet run .ProcInsp/ProcInsp.csporj

Publish
