Maintenance Alarm Exclusions
Maintenance Alarm Exclusions
Currently Alarms to keep enabled during Maintenance is a 'global' setting across all Maintenance schedules.
Depending on the 'maintenance' being done alters the alarms that should stay active.
For example, Server Patching with reboots may have no alarms that are left reporting.
Whereas installing/updating various BizTalk applications alarms monitoring network/infrastructure of the environment would want to be left 'active'1 voteImplementation of Maintenance Alarm exclusions per maintenance schedule is covered in the latest version of BizTalk360 (10.2)

Option to disable alerts for Data monitoring
We use data monitoring mainly for measuring purposes (analytics) and not for guarding the environment/processes.
To keep everything clean (especially when filtering the data monitor results) we do want to combine them into the same alarms as we use for guarding thresholds on the servers/artifacts.
So we would like to be able to disable alarm-triggers on each/all data monitor, the monitor just has to measure and put the result in its dashboard.1 voteHi ,
Now the data monitoring schedules can be disabled to stop monitor.
Thanks,

Disable group by error code in data monitoring "Send Instance Detail In Notification"
In order to setup real reports that can be sent to end users or technical super users with all errors given the time interval set in the monitoring details, there must be an option to disable the grouping by error code for "Send Instance Detail In Notification" option.
Example: An orchestration hits the suspend shape with different errors for the given process, each time the data monitoring alarm fetches these errors only the latest will be displayed in the notification as the suspend shape always gives the same error code (obviously).

Allow for monitoring of 3 or more SQL instances, or include disk monitoring of BT instance by default
Allow for monitoring of 3 or more SQL instances, or include disk monitoring of BT instance by default.
By Default you can't Monitor the BT Instance Disks (Monitoring> SQLServer Instances > BT Instance Name)
So you have to add it to Settings > Monitoring and Notification > SQL Servers for Monitoring
This only gives you a maximum of two

Terminate the service instances older than XX hours through Automatic Actions in BizTalk360
We have a need for functionality regarding the filtering by time range in Data Monitoring.
We have a case where we are moving data from customer’s ERP to their CRM daily using BizTalk.
And sometimes those transfers fail.
If the transfer is older than 24h it already obsolete and we would like to get rid of that kind of BizTalk instances using the Data Monitoring.
As far as I know there is no way to setup it a way where it would terminate the instance if the creation date is older than 24h from current time?
The closest we have…2 votesThis feature request has been incorporated in the latest version of BizTalk360 v10.1. To know more read the release notes (https://docs.biztalk360.com/docs/v101)

Data monitoring custom time
New Message Box data monitoring tool – This new feature to perform actions is great allowing automatically messages to be resumed or terminated. The only issues with that is the minimum frequency we can set is only to 15 minutes and it would be perfect if we are allowed to set lower values like seconds or 1 minute for example. Also the option to send or not a notification for that as sometimes we don’t need the email and the last suggestion is to add the port name as a filter for that as sometimes we only would like to…
2 votesHi ,
BizTalk360 now supports a Data Monitoring frequency of fewer than 15 mins. You can configure a minimum frequency of 5 mins.

Don't save results for 'Do not monitor' artifacts
We have quite a lot of servers, and thus quite a few artifacts we monitor. However, we have way more artifacts (NTServices, SQL jobs, etc.) that we do not monitor. But I notice these artifacts still add rows to the table b360alertMonitor_LogStateCheck (with ExpectedState 2). This gives us a lot of useless rows in this table for things we don't want to monitor anyway. Is there a way to turn this off? We now have 17 million rows in this table, and we only keep this data for a week (the cleanup job works fine).
I can write…3 votesHi ,
New State called 'UnMapped' is introduced to maintain the artifacts which are not mapped for monitoring. Now the entries are not updated in the LogStateCheck table.

Add option to check FTP connection every specific period
Currently we have setup a datamonitoring for most of our external FTP partners as like a HeartBeat mechanism. However some our partners are not that amused if we connect every 2 minutes to their FTP environment.
Therefore would it be great if we additionally could specify the interval when a check should be done.
IE not the just the number of second, but a set like every 15/30/60 minutes etc!2 votesHi ,
BizTalk360 allows user to manage the polling interval , system will check the monitoring status only with the configured frequency . This can be configured under environment settings.

Mass remove orphaned feature
Hi,
When we monitor a lot of artefacts and after an import of an alarm exported from another environment, we have sometimes a lot of orphaned items.
It could be very helpful to have, in the import process, a way to remove all orphaned at the same time. Otherwise, we need to go into each application, go on send ports/receive ports/orchestrations, ...2 votesHi ,
In the latest version of BizTalk360, the orphaned artifacts will not be imported to the destination environment. The list of orphaned artifact details will be listed in the import status.

Data Monitoring Rename
Just like the suggestion for renaming alarms (http://feedback.biztalk360.com/forums/331695-biztalk360-operations/suggestions/14516568-rename-alarms) it would be a good idea to enable the possibility to rename the data monitoring, for example on process monitoring.

Editing properties of multiple alarms at the same time
From time to time we need to edit properties like email ids for multiple alarms. Currently you have to open each alarm and make the necessary edits. It would be great to be able to select multiple alarms and make the edits at once.
4 votesHi,
This use case can be achieved by using the SMTP notification channel. Configure Emails Id's in the SMTP channel and map the channel to the required alarms. If there is any change in email id's then update in the SMTP channel, which will automatically reflect all the mapped alarms.
