.NET monitoring

Microsoft .NET Monitoring

Is your.NET application encountering frequent crashes or unexpected errors? Do you recycle application pools or restart IIS frequently to keep your site running? Do you spend hours examining logs, CPU usage, memory usage, and disk space without getting to the root cause of the issue?

Microsoft.NET applications can be difficult to monitor and troubleshoot due to their complex architecture and wide range of dependencies. That's why it is important to not only monitor the .NET applications but also that of the supporting architecture.

Applications Manager's comprehensive .NET monitoring capabilities give you deep insight into the health and performance of your.NET applications and underlying infrastructure - such as the .NET application server, IIS, and Azure services - in one place. This enables you to detect and resolve performance bottlenecks, regardless of where they originate.

Monitor Microsoft .NET application servers

The .NET application server is the foundation upon which .NET applications are deployed, run, and managed. By monitoring the health and performance of your .NET application server, you can identify issues, optimize performance, and ensure application stability.

With Applications Manager, you can proactively monitor key performance indicators of the .NET application server such as:

Memory Usage:

By tracking memory usage trends, you can identify memory leaks, optimize garbage collection, and ensure adequate heap and non-heap memory availability to power optimum application performance.

Thread Pools:

Tracking thread pool performance helps you visualize and understand the performance of active and waiting threads. This helps you ensure your application can efficiently handle request traffic and dodge thread starvation, improving response time and user satisfaction.

Locks:

Monitoring locks in real time helps you identify deadlocks and high wait times. This helps you locate and resolve critical bottlenecks and long queues, enhancing the end user experience.

Exceptions:

Monitoring exceptions helps identify coding issues, runtime, and application errors that could affect user experience or cause application slowdowns.

Connections:

Monitoring the health and activity of your .NET server connections in real time ensures optimal resource allocation and helps avoid connection pool exhaustion.

Network Traffic:

Analyze incoming and outgoing network traffic for .NET servers in real time. Identify anomalies in traffic patterns, locate bottlenecks, and optimize application performance across network layers.

JIT:

Monitoring .NET JIT compiler helps in identifying delays or errors in compilation, and helps you optimize your .NET application startup times and overall app performance.

ManageEngine Applications Manager's .NET Monitoring

Monitor the performance of .NET and .NET Core applications

To isolate issues at the application layer, it is essential to get a granular view of your .NET application's execution flow, including method calls, database queries, external service interactions, and more. Applications Manager provides end-to-end monitoring for .NET and .NET core applications in both development and production environments, including code-level insights, database performance, and infrastructure metrics.

  • Instrument .NET applications for popular web frameworks such as ASPX and MVC.
  • Monitor .NET performance alongside data from other components such as web service calls (ASMF, WCF, web API), database calls (Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra), Queues(Microsoft Message Queue, and others (Open web interface for .NET).
  • Map .NET applications and their supporting architecture in real-time with automated service maps.
  • Use distributed tracing for enhanced debugging if your .NET application uses microservices and distributed architectures.
Microsoft .NET application monitoring Applications Manager's comprehensive .NET application monitoring capabilities help developers identify and address a wide range of issues, such as:

  • Memory leaks and inefficient memory allocations
  • Excessive CPU usage
  • Slow queries and other database related performance issues
  • Network latency, packet loss, and throughput
  • Thread contention

  • Deadlocks
  • Slow endpoints
  • Error rates and exceptions
  • User experience issues, such as slow page load times
  • Resource exhaustion issues
  • Scalability issues

Monitor IIS

Applications Manager also supports IIS monitoring that allows you to track websites and web applications hosted on the Windows server while providing an in-depth analysis on its performance and availability. It complements built-in tools like IIS Manager and PerfMon and helps you:

  • Check if websites are up and running and responding to requests.
  • Monitor the status of application pools and identify crashes or restarts.
  • Track CPU usage, memory consumption, request queue length, response time and bandwidth usage.

Azure monitoring

If your .NET applications are running in Azure, monitoring Azure itself is crucial for understanding of your application's health, performance, and reliability. Applications Manager's Azure monitoring capabilities enable you to:

  • Ensure that the Azure resources your .NET application depends on (eg: Virtual machines, App Services, databases, storage accounts, etc.) are available and functioning correctly.
  • Monitor key infrastructure metrics like CPU utilization, memory consumption, disk I/O, network latency, and request counts for your Azure resources.
  • Troubleshoot quickly when issues occur by correlating application performance data with Azure metrics to pinpoint the source of the problem.
  • Understand Azure spending based on resource usage and take steps to manage costs.
Additionally, Applications Manager can also help keep tabs on your broader Microsoft ecosystem with support for monitoring Windows servers, SQL server, Exchange, Hyper-V, SharePoint, MSMQ, BizTalk, Microsoft 365, etc.

AI-powered anomaly detection and smart thresholds

Leverage AI-driven anomaly detection to configure dynamic thresholds for .NET application performance indicators. Set up smart alerts to automate alert escalations and trigger responsive actions on priority. Integrating your alerting system with your communication channels like Slack or e-mail helps you stay informed about every single event. This also allows you to respond quicker and resolve issues in time, reducing MTTD and MTTR.
