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.
