Add Ability to Disable and Enable Specific Data Monitoring Entries
Occasionally I find it necessary to disable specific data monitors while a specific process is down or temporarily on hold. I don't want to disable the entire associated Alarm, as that would impact more than wanted. Since there is no Disable/Enable feature, I am forced to delete and recreate the Data Monitor instead.
1 voteFrom version 10.3 on the data monitoring schedule can be enabled or disabled based on the need .

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 voteHi ,
You can add the external servers for monitoring using Add SQL Server option under Environment Settings->SQL Server. Here you can add Non BizTalk/SQL Servers , only constraint is the server should be under same domain .
Thanks ,

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 votesThis scenario can be achieved by configuring the Alarm to Monitor Unmapped Artifacts . This functionality is available in latest version 10.6 .

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 voteHi ,
In BizTalk360 monitoring, users can effectively monitor the status of IIS Websites and App pools, with the added functionality of auto-correct actions. The monitoring service also performs audits to keep a record of the corrective actions taken for IIS Websites and App pools. Upgrade to latest version 10.7 to use this feature.

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.
9 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 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.
7 votesNow SQL Server count has been increased 4 to support Always on Instances

Messaging latency SLA monitoring / alerting
Making extended use of the captured Messaging Performance analytics data, it would be good to be able to set a performance SLA for messaging through BizTalk. If the latency of a specific data interchange drops below the SLA threshold then raise an alert for investigation.

Performance Monitoring feature in BizTalk360 data monitoring is enhanced to support BizTalk Messaging performance . Check out latest release notes v10.5.

Restrict alarms by user group
When defining alarms it should be possible to separate alarms by "user group". Essentially we will be sharing access to BT360 with our client and we would like them to be able to create their own alarms for their applications. However we don't want them to be able to edit (or delete) our alarms. It should be possible to separate alarms by user group.
7 votesRestricting the alarms by user access policies request has been implemented in the latest version of BizTalk360

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.
