To create Microsoft .NET Monitor

  1. Click on New Monitor link.
  2. Select Microsoft .NET Monitor.
  3. Enter the IP Address or hostname of the host where .NET runs.
  4. Enter the SubNetMask of the network.
  5. Set the Polling Interval.
  6. If you are adding a new monitor from an Central Server, select a Probe Server.
  7. Enter the User Name / Domain Name  and Password  of the system.
  8. Choose the Monitor Group from the combo box with which you want to associate .NET Monitor (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.
  9. Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers .NET from the network and starts monitoring them.

Monitored Parameters

Microsoft .NET is monitored based on the attributes such as Heap Size, Threads etc. Data collection happens through WMI. .NET application performance monitoring offered by Applications Manager will help you to detect performance issues of .NET transactions and enables your application teams to resolve problems before end-users are impacted. The monitoring details of Microsoft .Net are represented graphically and that helps to understand the parameters with ease. Our .NET monitoring tool also allows you to configure thresholds to the attributes, based on these details.

  • Availability tab gives the Availability history for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
  • Performance tab gives the Health Status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
  • List view enables you to perform bulk admin configurations.
