Background
At op5 we often run into BizTalk at customer sites as a business critical application. We have done an investigation and come up with a plugin to monitor BizTalk.
To fully understand this document BizTalk knowledge is necessary.
Solution
op5 has developed a plugin that can monitor the following at a BizTalk server:
- Recieve locations – Verify that they are enabled.
- Send Ports – Verify that they are in Started state
- Group Overview – Catch messages in the message queue that are in state Suspended. The different type of messages are:
- Dehydrated
- Suspended
- Queue
The plugin license is GPLv3 so it is free for any one to use and enhance.
