Monitor Microsoft BizTalk


The 'MS BizTalk check' checks whether the Exchange services are running and whether the Exchange processes are running (and not consuming too much CPU/memory). It also checks whether the relevant WMI counters have proper values.

The following services are monitored:

  • BizTalk Service BizTalk Group : BizTalkServerApplication
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : NewsSend
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : OrderLineSend
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : OrdlineHost
  • BizTalk Service BizTalk Group : NewsHost
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : P2BHost
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : P2BSend
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : Press
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : PressIn
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : PressOut
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : Subscription
  • DisplayBizTalk Service BizTalk Group : SubscriptionSend
  • BizTalk Base EDI service

The following processes are monitored:

  • BTSNTSvc.exe
  • BizMon.AlertService.exe

All of the above items can be enabled/disabled to meet your requirements.

How to change the check definition of new checks

To change the default behaviour of new MS BizTalk checks, use your favorite text editor and make changes to the following file:
  ChkDefMsExchange.ini
This file is located in the following directory:
  <installation-dir>\Sys\Roles\ directory
for instance:
  C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Sys\Roles\

This ChkDefMsBizTalk.ini file has the following format: 

[Microsoft Exchange Server]
Services     = Service-1<Service-1-displayname>, 
               ... ,
               Service-n<Service-n-Displayname>
               
Processes    = Process-1<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>, 
               ... ,
               Process-n<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>
               
PerfCounters = WmiDataClass-1:WmiData-Instance-1:Condition-1,
               ..., 
               WmiDataClass-n:WmiData-Instance-n:Condition-n
NOTE: Use a '!' sign before a service, process or performance counter to disable the check by default (but still visible so it can be selected).
