This Management Pack is the most powerful and flexible solution
for monitoring the health of .NET applications running in a
production environment. The Management Pack monitors your
application at runtime, seamlessly integrating into the .NET
framework.
Targeted to application support, software development, and QA
teams, the Management Pack provides the diagnostic data
necessary for efficient troubleshooting of issues detected in the
production environment. It provides the infrastructure to convey
root-cause diagnostic information to developers, and documentation
of application defects & performance degradations to support QA
reporting and application SLAs.
One of the key enhancements to Systems Center Operations Manager
2007 is the built-in ability to monitor .NET applications and
provide real-time health alerts when those applications experience
code failures or performance bottlenecks. Through a development and
license agreement with Microsoft, AVIcode built and delivered this
capability. Within Systems Center Operations Manager, AVIcode
receives the following attribution: '.NET monitoring powered by
AVIcode technology.'
