Monitor Non-BizTalk/Non-SQL Servers
Currently we are able to monitor disks, resources, events and NT Services on BizTalk- and SQL-servers.
However our Integration-platform is bigger, we have several dedicated MSMQ- and IIS-servers which we would also like to monitor from within BT360.1 vote -
File masks without any extensions support
BizTalk server 2013 R2 only the file names with the extensions were supported.
From BizTalk server 2016, this type (PPI*) of file masks without any extensions are supported. Hence we request to enhance the file monitoring feature to get the counts for all the file masks irrespective of the file extensions.1 vote -
Ability to monitor RabbitMQ (on seperate host)
We're currently looking into implementing RabbitMQ. For monitoring they offer API's. However all our current monitoring tools don't offer build-in support to monitor RabbitMQ. Since it will be part of our integration platform we would like to be able to monitor this using BT360

Ability to do a quick add for new artefacts in apps
Hi,
Here is the use case: I have a BizTalk application with artefacts and the related BizTalk360 alarms with all artefacts mapped.
Now, I add a new receive location or send port in the application. It could be very useful to have the ability to detect, in BizTalk360, that for a particular alarm, there are "not mapped" artefacts and provide the ability to map them automatically.2 votes -
Age-based monitoring for Data Monitoring
When creating a Data Monitoring alarm, it would be great to be able to check for instances which are older than XX days/minutes/seconds.
For example : let's say we have 2 dehydrated (or suspended, or whatever) orchestrations, 1 created 3 days ago and 1 only 10 minutes ago. This feature would allow BizTalk360 to raise an alarm for instances that take too much time to complete, or suspended instances that have obviously been overlooked.

Monitor IIS-state
BizTalk can receive message through different channels, MSMQ, FILE, webservices etc.
Those first 2 we can monitor using BizTalk360, the last we can't.
Yes I can monitor web-endpoints, but why take the hassle of monitoring each individual service if they run in the same app(pool).
We would like to be able to monitor the state of the website running the webservices AND the state of the apppools in use for receiving BizTalk-messages.1 vote -
Support SQL cluster monitoring
When SQL 1 server went down and SQL 2 (clustering) starts running BizTalk Server starts capturing and running. But BizTalk360 still pointing to that SQL1 sever and keep pooping the message "Disks: Configured Disk . No longer exist in the Server XXXXXXX." we expect BizTalk360 should support SQL Cluster Monitoring.

Displaying an Alarm Dashboard
We set up several alarms for different dataflows we have in our BizTalk environment (with different time-schedules).
We would like to setup the dashboard on a Big screen for monitoring-purposes. However switch between alarms in the dashboard is pointless in this situation. We would like to suggest an Alarm-dashboard which shows the status of all the alarms. This is a screen we can put on a big screen.- Idea shared by Joost Easton.

Offical SCOM MP (sealed) to monitor events and service from BizTalk360
We have incidents when BizTalk360 looses the connection to database because of network issues, during updates or maintenance windows. During those it have happened that the BizTalk360 service do not start, and I have no idea that the service was actually stopped until the customer (how manage the flow in the application) calls and says they aren't receiving e-mails.
We already have the IIS MP, so that are monitored. I asked my SCOM guy to create some rules (alerts) of the Event ID's I have found and monitoring the service.
But I would like to make a feature request to…3 votes -
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.

Monitor SSO on non-BizTalk server
When the EntSSO service is not running on a BizTalk or SQL server, it's currently not possible to monitor the state if that service with BizTalk360. Since the EntSSO is such an important component for BizTalk, it would be good to be able to monitor that service.

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.

Monitoring an event not trigerred by Biztalk system
Sometimes we have a process which is only partially executed by Biztalk. But this process is a global integration process and need to be monitored by an integration team.
Example :
the process write a flag file in a directory. sometimes Biztalk write the file, sometimes the file is written by another system (and no Biztalk artefact is trigerred). in this last specific cas, Biztalk 360 doesn't allow me to check if the flag file is there or not.
I think it could be useful to add a feature which allow to detect a file in a specific directory (same…1 vote -
Azure ServiceBus queues monitoring: add a threshold to check old message
Hi,
When monitoring a queue/subscription in BizTalk360, is it possible to monitor the "age" of messages.
For example, I need it for the following use case: I want to be alerted if there are messages in the queue that are older than x days for example. Because it means for me that messages are not consumed (and in my use case, maybe only one message is in the queue but it is not consumed).7 votes -
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

“Assign to me” function
Inspired by some of the sessions at Integrate2017, I suggest you analyse the possibilities to develop an “Assign to me” function. Let me describe a bit more…
An alert-email goes out as a Biztalk send port is down. This email goes to a group, in our case 6 recipients. Then, who’s going to fix this? Maybe there could be a button in the email and when I click it, the status in 360-db on this alert goes to “ongoing work”/”under investigation” or something like that, with my ad-name as responsible. Then, another email goes out to the group as the…

Monitor untrusted domain with specified accounts
Currently you can only monitor BizTalk Environments which are in the same domain.
We have multiple test environments which are in silo'ed untrusted domains, and would like the ability to to monitor all of them from the one BizTalk360 Environment.
Allow us to use Domain Accounts from each domain to connect and retrieve the information required

Enhance filter options in Data monitoring with wildcard search
I am needing the capability to route suspended message ‘Data Monitoring’ notifications to some IT partners, but, based upon information that is in ONLY available in the Message Context. In these cases, the BizTalk messages are suspended with an Application Name of “Microsoft.Practices.ESB”, but are not able to make it to the Exceptions Portal and only associating the root application that caused the issue in the Message Context, which is how today we manually review and manually notify the development groups that these types of Suspended Messages occur. What I need is the capability to search generically across all Context…

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…
