Web Sites & Services MP • Monitor availability and performance of Web Sites and Web Services • Perform HTTP requests against the monitored applications(synthetic transactions) • Collect and alert on availability and performance metrics • Build SLA reports based on collected metrics
Synthetic TransactionsIntroduction • Transaction • Business process or operation such as order processing or inventory lookup • Synthetic Transaction • Surrogate, fake, or test transactions created by performance management solutions and sent through the system • Great for monitoring application performance from the client perspective
ArchitectureMOM 2005 with Web Sites and Services MP Management Server Console Database ConfigurationWizard Agent Agent Agent Managed Code Response Managed Code Response Managed Code Response Web site Web site
Concepts • Request Sequence • Container for individual HTTP requests (URLs and/or Web pages) • Composed of a MOM rule and a Request Sequence data file • Request Sequence data file • Created using the Configuration Wizard • Placed on BITS Server used by File Transfer Response • Downloaded by MOM Agents to be processed by the Managed Code Response
How To MonitorWeb pages and individual URLs • Web pages consist of base page and content • Images, Scripts, Style sheets, Frames, Links • Implicit content monitoring • Supply base page URL and choose type of content to be monitored • Pros: no need to update the monitor when the Web page content changes • Explicit content monitoring • Supply base page and content URLs • Pros: monitoring criteria can be set for each URL
How To MonitorWeb application transactions • Evaluate implications of the different authentication mechanisms • Basic • Use Authorization header • Forms • Use request body • Domain (Windows Integrated) • Use MOM Action Account • Secure Request Sequence files and communication channel if data is sensitive
How To MonitorWeb Service methods • A Web Service processes SOAP messages • HTTP is the preferred transport • Create requests from WSDL file for easy authoring • Pick one or more Web Service methods and for a sequence of method calls • Supply header and parameter values for each method call if needed • Use content search criteria to validate presence or absence of XML nodes in response

Report interaction • Global Actionsallows User to launch • other reports • tasks • console views • Have a context of all data in the report Detail Actionstake the context of the object in the line they are started from
Architecture • Full Console Integration using the ReportViewer Control • Security Integration with OpsMgr security • Management Server writes collected data directly to the Warehouse (no latency, no more DTS) • Warehouse • has datasets per data type that have automated aggregation, grooming and optimization • supports multiple Management groups • Reports • have Smart Parameter headers • have awesome chart control • are generic and reusable • Management Pack • reports, their dependencies and localization are contained in the MP • MP has control which data goes to the operational DB, the Warehouse or to both
MOM 2005 to OpsMgr 2007 Reports • MOM 2005 reports are not compatible to OpsMgr 2007 • Underlying schema is too different • MOM 2005 report mostly off raw data while 2007 report off aggregated data • 2007 reports provide parity with 2005 reports and add flexibility to make them reusable – you will find that a lot of your reports can be done with the “Generic reports”. • If you have custom reports – How did you build them? • On the SDK views • On the SC_ views
MOM 2005 to OpsMgr 2007 Data Warehouse Migration • A really hot topic: we talk about Warehouses larger than 2 Terabyte in some cases. > 80% of the data is performance data • Investigating migration of performance data only for discovered objects • Possibly through a Resource Kit Tool (post RTM) • This is addressing the major picture of reporting: 119 MOM 2005 reports are about performance.Performance migration will allow a Customer to use the new reports with the old data, use the new aggregations
