Design


A default multi-tenant architecture, with inspectable client scripts, and outbound only connections.

30 Day Data Retention

All agent specific data is aged out and deleted after 30 days. Only non-identifiable metrics and aggregate data is used longer term to improve the service.

Least Access Principle / BCP NetSec Patterns

Agents can only talk outbound (push) from your machine. There is no inbound communication possible and no remote access tooling or functionality. There are no listening ports on the agent. It only talks outbound via DNS and HTTPS TCP 443 to write data to (not read data from) buckets.

Multitenant Boundaries
Enforced Front / Back

Telegraf and InfluxDB are used for fail-safe data ingestion, bucket separation, and storage (with optional SOC2 Type II cloud vs. OSS).

Apple Signed + Security Scanned

The lightweight agent is an Apple notarized/signed binary which comprises a custom fork of the modular BitBar (now Xbar) agent with OSS inspectable scripts.

Native Apple M Chip Support

The agent (inc. Telegraf) is cross compiled for both Intel and Apple Silicon (Arm-based) architectures.

MFA (Multi-factor Authentication)

Use Google Authenticator, Authy, or any TOTP (Time-based One Time Password) generator to secure your account but remember to note your backup codes!

Simple but advanced troubleshooting and monitoring for Macs.

71% of the US workforce worked hybrid (a mix of office and remote) in 2023.
DEM (Digital Experience Monitoring) is the first step to guaranteeing supportability and productivity.

How It Works

Digital Experience Monitoring For Local or Remote Teams

A Lightweight Instant Agent

Runs from your Mac's menubar. Sends metrics to the cloud.

With Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), the easily installed PanSift agent automatically watches and troubleshoots your specific environment. It generates telemetry and insights about your device and network so you or your team can rapidly diagnose issues, remotely.

Continuous Real Time Network Monitoring

Embrace the remote-first wireless world.

PanSift is continuously monitoring and reporting a whole suite of metrics relating to the network and overall health of the user's laptop. This in-path monitoring is the only true way to understand what the user is experiencing and what conditions are really like.

P.S. PanSift even watches the radio airspace and can suggest better Wi-Fi channels to use to solve all manner of problems with video conferencing, gaming, and voice calls.

Automatic Troubleshooting

Sane defaults + custom targets!

PanSift empowers you and your team to rapidly diagnose a whole host of issues remotely and retrospectively. Insights are built on full fidelity, high cardinality data, presented simply. Whether for family or work, find peace of mind and reduce everyone's stress by embracing the type of monitoring you do for your servers, but on the user edge!
