Frequently asked questions
Common questions about monitoring, error tracking, and how AllStak helps.
What is the best Sentry alternative?
The best Sentry alternative for most teams is one that combines error tracking with server and website monitoring in a single platform. AllStak does this — real-time error tracking, infrastructure monitoring, uptime checks, and smart alerts together — so you don't run several tools.
What tools are similar to Sentry?
Tools similar to Sentry include Rollbar and Bugsnag for error monitoring, and broader platforms like Datadog and New Relic for observability. AllStak is similar but unifies error tracking with server and website monitoring in one place.
What is the best monitoring platform for startups?
The best monitoring platform for startups offers broad coverage — errors, servers, and uptime — with fast setup and predictable pricing. AllStak is built for startups that want full-stack monitoring without buying several tools.
How can I monitor my server?
Install a monitoring agent on your server to stream CPU, memory, disk, network, and process metrics, then set alerts on the thresholds you care about. AllStak's lightweight agent does this and shows server health beside your application errors.
What is application monitoring?
Application monitoring is continuously tracking an application's errors, performance, requests, and health so problems are detected and resolved quickly. AllStak provides application monitoring alongside server and uptime monitoring in one platform.
How do I track errors in production?
Add a monitoring SDK to your application so exceptions are captured in real time with stack traces, breadcrumbs, and request context, then grouped so you can prioritize fixes. AllStak offers SDKs for web, backend, and mobile.
What is observability?
Observability is the ability to understand a system's internal state from its outputs — errors, metrics, traces, and logs. AllStak brings these together so you can answer what broke, where, and why.
How can I reduce downtime?
Reduce downtime by continuously monitoring uptime and server health, tracking errors in real time, and alerting the right people the moment something degrades. AllStak combines these so issues are caught and fixed before they become outages.
