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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Kindly introduce a new feature 'Do Not Monitor' in the 'Web Endpoints' section so that we can make the web endpoints active / inactive on need basis.
Currently we dont have any option but to remove the endpoint in case of any issue.

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

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

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.
