The Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA consists of several accelerator stages, the last one being a storage ring providing a beam of polarized electrons of up to 3.5 GeV. At ELSA various diagnostic devices based on synchrotron radiation are installed or planned. A new beamline at the storage ring designed for high resolution diagnostics in the transversal plane will be presented. The measurement setup is sensitive at the UV range of the synchrotron light spectrum. Upgrade measures aiming to extend the diagnostic possibilities to the longitudinal direction will be detailed. In the external beamlines beam currents below 1 nA are delivered to photo production experiments. Beam profiles are detected using dedicated synchrotron light monitors optimized for low intensities. The characteristics of the monitors will be described. In addition, beam parameters derived from the measured profiles at different resonance extraction setups will be shown.
