AVIcode Releases New Version of .NET Management Pack for
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007
AVIcode announced the release of version 4.1 of
its .NET Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007.
This version offers upgraded functionality that expands monitoring support, and
improves ease of use and reporting capabilities within Operations Manager 2007.
AVIcode s .NET
Management Pack concurrently monitors for both application failures and
performance bottlenecks. It leverages the technology behind AVIcode s
cornerstone monitoring solution, Intercept Studio, to deliver a comprehensive
view of application health by providing a per application and system-level view
of key performance metrics, while also correlating performance counter data
with application behavior.
One of the new
features of the .NET Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 is its ability
to auto-discover distributed application architecture. This allows Operations
Manager 2007 users to easily begin monitoring all of the components of complex
applications. Combining Operations Manager 2007 functionality with the .NET
Management Pack s auto-discovery feature, users now have the ability to monitor
all the critical aspects of a system, including application components,
hardware (like IIS servers), database connectivity, and corresponding system
metrics like CPU usage.
With the .NET
Management Pack, Operations Manager 2007 users are automatically notified when
an application problem occurs, and are provided a complete root-cause
diagnosis. This real-time notification and diagnosis ensures appropriate
problem triage, improved problem resolution, and optimal application
availability and reliability.
The latest version
of the .NET Management Pack for Operations Manager includes these enhancements:
- Expanded Monitored Resource Support. The .NET
Management Pack now monitors Windows Services, Windows EXE, and COM+
applications. This enables end-to-end monitoring of complex distributed
applications, from transactional components on the back-end to WinForms
front-end applications.
- Security and Connectivity Monitoring. The .NET
Management Pack extends availability and performance monitoring to include
security and connectivity monitoring. This allows for the detection of
mis-configured connectivity between applications and SQL Server or Web services,
and for the detection of security failures due to insufficient rights to
requested resources. With this information, operations teams are better
equipped to resolve these issues without relying on support personnel.
- Application Topology View. The .NET Management
Pack now provides a graphical topology that displays the dependency between
components of a distributed application. This enables better understanding and
assessment of infrastructure changes on deployed applications.
- Resource Utilization Correlation. The .NET
Management Pack offers the ability to correlate resource utilization, like CPU,
Memory, and I/O with application load and performance. This provides an application-focused
perspective on resource utilization and enables proactive capacity planning and
application performance tuning.
- Enterprise
Reports. The .NET Management Pack now provides enterprise-class reports that
show the most critical SQL, WCF, .NET Remoting, and other resource calls for
optimization prioritization. The .NET Management Pack also has the ability to
report on trends and compare key process and application performance
indicators.
