The scroll thing is very annoying. Can't you just have a list of product features?

More and more companies copy this blindly. There are cases when this works well, but here, it's more than just annoying.

An unfortunate case of designing for trends instead of designing for users.

I've been a pretty big fan of Scout (ScoutApp) for this. To me, Scout's killer feature is the ease with which you can write a custom plugin. And, if that's too much trouble, just use the Generic JSON URI plugin and have your code/cron/whatever dump a json file with whatever you want to track.

This is quite a bit cheaper though.

I come from using New Relic for our server monitoring, and there are a couple things that I can see that I already love about Sea Lion, their realtime stats, and ad-hoc commands really opens up to allow any kind of monitoring. I would like to see the ability to rename servers instead of using their hostname.. as well as multiple stats on the page at once.. Other than that, this is really awesome!

Considering going on one of their paid tiers

What if you're using AWS already? I couldn't find any word on CloudWatch integration.

Just sent you an email, but for anyone else who's wondering the same thing: I'll plug Scalyr, which is a server monitoring service with an option to import CloudWatch metrics. https://www.scalyr.com/solutions/import-cloudwatch

Can you explain little bit more on "Debugging Tool"? How to use as Debugging tool?

Once you have custom commands set up, you can rely on alerts to zero-down on the issue and debug it with ease.

You can make use of historical data to go back in time, analyse and debug issues.

Is there an equivalent of New Relics application performance monitoring? For example the view of time spent in script, DB, memcache, external, etc all in a stacked line graph?
