Health Check related operations for Microsoft BizTalk Server
The Nodinite BizTalk Server Monitoring Agent delivers powerful Health Check operations for your Microsoft BizTalk Server environment, empowering you to excel in support and maintenance.
- BizTalk Server Health Check features are listed in Nodinite as resources with the Category Health Check.
- Health Check resources use the BizTalk Group Name as their Application name (not specific BizTalk application names), since they represent system-wide health metrics.
Note
Why do Health Check resources use the BizTalk Group Name?
Health Check resources are system-wide monitoring features that track the overall health of your entire BizTalk environment. They use the BizTalk Group Name as their Application Name because:
- They monitor environment-level metrics (MessageBox health, DTA database, tracking, throttling)
- They need to be uniquely identified when monitoring multiple BizTalk Groups (Dev, Test, Prod)
- They don't belong to any specific BizTalk application
See the Group page for a complete explanation of Application Name usage patterns.
Here's an example of a Monitor View filtered by the 'Health Check' category.
