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.

Automation of disabling or stopping send ports and receive locations for scheduled outages, certain days of the week and hours.

Enabling/disabling SQL jobs is not supported from BizTalk360 portal? it would be great to include this feature.

The requirement is to have a certain receive location to be disabled on weekends. BizTalk only has everyday ability for this.

Right now BizTalk360 is able to monitor disk spaces in BizTalk and SQL servers, it will be useful to monitor clustered disks. At the moment if the disk failover to secondary server, 360 starts alerting.

Please add the ability to monitor ServiceBus subscriptions (active and deadletter) like it is already possible for ServiceBus queues.

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!

Hi,
When defining a new process monitor, the list of receive locations or send ports should be sorted in the alphabetical order and/or it could be great to have a search filter.

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

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.

In the NT-Service monitoring I would like the option to make an alert for the startup-type. So we can quickly discover a wrong startup type.

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, ...

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(?)

Notification of orchestration instances which are active for more than 45 minutes using Data monitoring.

Monitor if a FTP-server:
- can be reached
- login is possible
- given remote path is accessable

I would like to see an improvement in future editions where you are displayed with a list of stop alerts you have created (within the same page), in the Stop Alerts for Maintenance page.
