RuntimeIQ.Core 1.2.0

RuntimeIQ.Core

Lightweight, self-hosted APM for ASP.NET Core applications.

Monitor exceptions, request latency, slow SQL queries, system health and outbound HTTP calls with a built-in live dashboard. No cloud account, no agents, no infrastructure. Drop in with two lines of code. Designed for IIS on-premises deployments and local development.

Quick Start

dotnet add package RuntimeIQ.Core

In Program.cs:

using RuntimeIQ.Core.Extensions;

builder.Services.AddRuntimeIQ(options =>
{
    options.DashboardPath     = "/runtimeiq";
    options.DashboardUsername = "admin";        // optional - omit for open access
    options.DashboardPassword = "your-secret";  // optional - omit for open access
    options.LicenseKey        = "YOUR-PRO-KEY"; // omit for Free tier
});

app.UseRuntimeIQ();

Visit /runtimeiq - your dashboard is live.

What Gets Monitored

• Exceptions: all unhandled exceptions, deduplicated by type and message with occurrence counts and stack traces
• Web Method & API Latency: per-endpoint response times (min / avg / max) across MVC controllers and Web API endpoints, with configurable sampling
• Slow SQL: queries exceeding your configured threshold, captured automatically from EF Core, Microsoft.Data.SqlClient and System.Data.SqlClient
• System Health: CPU usage, working set memory, managed heap, and system memory utilisation over time
• Outbound HTTP Calls: slow external HTTP dependencies captured via HttpClient, with host, URL, status code and duration
• RuntimeIQ Health: internal health of RuntimeIQ's own processes, so you always know the monitor itself is running cleanly

Requirements

• .NET 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, or 10.0
• Any ASP.NET Core web application (Minimal API, MVC, Web API)
• No additional infrastructure. Storage is a local SQLite file.

Known Issues

SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3 — GHSA-2m69-gcr7-jv3q (High)

Security scanners may report a high-severity advisory against the transitive dependency SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3, which is brought in by Microsoft.Data.Sqlite. The advisory relates to a vulnerability in SQLite's full-text search (FTS) subsystem.

This is not exploitable through RuntimeIQ.Core. RuntimeIQ uses SQLite solely to store structured internal telemetry (exceptions, request timings, query durations). It does not use SQLite's FTS features, and no untrusted external input reaches SQLite directly.

This is an upstream supply-chain issue — the SQLitePCLRaw package maintainer needs to rebuild with a patched SQLite binary. A new version of RuntimeIQ.Core will be published as soon as a fixed upstream release is available.
