According to the observational statistics a large majority of all GRBs exhibit X ray emission. In addition, a dedicated separate group of GRB, the XRFs, exists which emission dominates in the X ray spectral range. And the third group of GRB related objects (yet hypothetical) are the group of off-axis observed GRBs (orphan afterglows). These facts justify the consideration of an independent experiment for monitoring, detection and analyses of GRBs and others fast X ray transients in X rays. We will present and discuss such experiment based on wide-field X ray telescopes of Lobster Eye type. The wide field and fine sensitivity of Lobster Eye X ray All Sky Monitor make such instruments important tools in study of GRBs and related objects.
