Check inbound file size < 10 kb
The customer has a new BI process that collect data and send it to the CRM system.
Sometime there are no data, the source system creates an “empty” file.
The file is not empty because there is the header information, but no data.
Customer asked me to create an alarm, if a file smaller than 10 kb would be found.
I hoped to find this function into the Data Monitoring, but was not.
I think this could be a good function for a future version.- Idea shared by Nicolas Blatter

Autocorrect should have configurable retry interval
Currently autocorrect tries to enable a port once a minute. It would be nice to configure this to a different interval like once every 5 minutes.
2 votesIn the latest version of BizTalk360, Auto Correct retry interval is achieved through auto correct reset capability. For more details

24 hours Data monitoring with fixed time alert
Actually in data monitoring, it is possible to schedule a 24h frequency monitor but we can't specify when the alert will be sent. By Example: Need to check if we receive a file for 24h and send the alert at 5hAM to call the support.

API to create/update an alarm
Is there an API available that will allow me to create/update an alarm?
We have built a .Net based deployment tool that takes care of all of our deployments and it would be good if we could tie in the Alarm create/update for new artefacts as part of this process.

Data Monitoring File Size
Would be nice to add additional Filter possibility, not only based on the number of file received, but also on the file size. At a customer site we have a WS Request that sometimes receives a wrong response. This response is much more smaler than the expected. Would be nice if I could configure an alarm if the file size is below a kb value.
24 votesHi, Our latest version 10.8 introduces the capability to monitor the message size transmitted between the receive location and the send port. You can now configure the expected size in process monitoring, and if the message size violates the specified threshold configuration, it will trigger an alert.
Check out the release notes for more updates.
Thanks,

New feature requests on Autocorrect
I have couple of new feature requests for BizTalk360.
- Receive Location/Send Port/Orchestration - Auto Correct (set time)
- Option to configure BizTalk360 to try to auto correct artifacts in scheduled time (every 1 hour 5 times).
- Use case: BizTalk Receive Location A goes in disabled state. BizTalk360 tries to auto correct Receive Location 5 times and fails to restart port. Alarm email is sent to monitoring person, but it is night time and person is not available to react on alarm email. Receive Location stays disabled until monitoring person comes to work etc. and activates Receive Location manually.
…Solution: Set time
2 votesAutocorrect reset capability will solve this use case.
It is implemented in the latest versions of BizTalk360. -
Widget with errors
There is no widget in the operations dashboard to notify any kind of errors or warnings determined in the monitoring area. Knowing how many mappings and data monitoring is set up is more useful if you know what is actually wrong

Monitoring for Always On Instances
With BizTalk 2016 you have the possibility to configure the DB with Always On. Because of MSDTC you have to create at least 4 instances and to create the BizTalk Db in these instances. At the moment in BizTalk360 you can only monitor 2, this should be now changed to allow a better control of all bts DB.

Syncronisation of applications endpoints with BizTalk360 monitoring alerts
It would be great is the BizTalk360 application was able to keep in sync with the endpoints within an application - as seen in the BizTalk admin console. Presently, if any changes are made to the BizTalk applications endpoints the BizTalk360 alert has to be reconfigured to match the changes - this is generally overlooked until the email alert comes through and shows an error.

Consolidated View of Alarms in Monitoring Dashboard
In the current version (8.2), the Monitoring Dashboard only displays one alarm at a time. In an organisation that configures many alarms, this means they can't see an overview in one screen of all mappings - unless they include an additional alarm that includes everything, which would cause duplicate emails, etc. Pretty sure that older versions of BizTalk360 included a consolidated view(?)
7 votesIn the latest version of BizTalk360(9.0.2151.2808) BizTalk Group Dashboard feature is introduced and it gives a consolidated view of the status of all the artifacts which are mapped to all the alarms in an environment.

Allow the creation of Alarm Mapping templates used in by alarms (instanced or referenced)
As per title and other suggestions.
Allow a mapping template to be created and named. These templates would be 'masters'. Then when creating alarms allow a template to be selected and instanced into the alarm or copied to a version and the versioned copy referenced by one or more alarms. Obviously if a template is copied version is referenced by multiple alarms dependencies would need to be displayed or alerted if changes were made to the referenced mappings for example.
I could go on but the idea is there ...

E-Mail template with local language characters
At present, the email template accepts only English input method. I'm trying to set the "subject prefix" with translated names into local language Swedish making the message more user friendly.
When using charts Å Ä Ö I'm allowed to save but the chars are saved as "?". We want it to accept languages, other than English.

Stop and disable the host instance when auto correction is set to Disabled
There is no way for setting Stopped and Disabled states – not for monitoring or auto-correct behavior.
The problem this is creating for me is that if someone inadvertently starts a secondary FTP Receive Host Instance (as someone did recently) I want BizTalk360 to:
- alert me that this Host Instance is in an unexpected state
- have auto-correct set it to the desired state – Disabled
- and stop the running service – because it should never have been started and must be stopped: a. Set to disabled and left running is not what I need b. Setting ‘Desired State’ to Stopped…
