Never wonder about unhandled ASP.NET exceptions again

Sigh.net is a provider based unhandled exception handler for ASP.NET 2.0 and higher applications. Used by developers or system administrators, sigh.net monitors ASP.NET applications for unhandled exceptions and sends detailed information to one or more configured providers. There is no code to change and no code to add to your application; you don't even have to rebuild you application. Just drop the sigh.net assembly into your web application's bin directory and configure it with the web.config file. Any unhandled exceptions thrown by your application will be trapped by sigh.net and forwarded to the configured providers.

It's provider based

There are two providers available for sigh.net, though the provider model offers a great deal of extensibility.

Sample web.config Setting:

The example below illustrates how simple it is to configure sigh.net to monitor your unhandled ASP.NET exceptions. This is all done without adding or modifying a single line of code in your application.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
	<configSections>
		<sectionGroup name="unhandledHttpException">
			<section name="httpExceptionProviders" type="Sigh.HttpExceptionConfiguration, Sigh" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" restartOnExternalChanges="true" />

Currently there are only two providers available for sigh.net. If you want another provider or five, let me know and I'll add them to the project. Or, if you're really fancy and make your own provider let me know and I'll add it to the project.
