This flexibility in beam parameters requires a frequent tuning of the machine parameters for optimal operation of the UNILAC. Therefore, there has been a constant and pressing need for operationally convenient, accurate, fast and potentially non-destructive beam diagnostics for longitudinal charge profile and energy distribution. This contribution discusses the recent progress on longitudinal charge profile distribution measurements at GSI UNILAC. The outcome of recent devices like Fast Faraday cups (FFCs), transition radiation in GHz regime (GTR) is shown in comparison with phase probes or pick-ups. Other past developments aimed at longitudinal diagnostics at UNILAC like single particle detectors and RF deflector type methods are also briefly discussed.
