Overview

Azure Service Bus is a cloud based messaging system for connecting applications, services and devices irrespective of their locations. Applications running on Azure, on-premise systems, or both, can commmunicate, message delivery can be managed and numerous applications can be accessed with minimum response time.

With Applications Manager's Azure monitoring tool, monitoring Azure Service Bus becomes more easier. Usage and throughput statistics of Queues, Relays, Topics, Event Hubs and Subscriptions are accurately displayed that help you track your connectivity and monitor the exchange of messages between various devices. Configure alarms for various metrics and get notified in case of irregularities and take necessary corrective actions.
