We recently released version 12.6 of Applications Manager. Here is a quick look at what has gone into the release: 

Microsoft Azure service bus monitoring:

Azure Service Bus allows applications and services to communicate with other applications on the cloud, on-premise, or both. You can now monitor the performance of Azure Service bus and get performance stats of key components such as queues, relays, topics, subscriptions, event hubs, and more.

Integration with ServiceNow:

If you are using ServiceNow to track incidents, you can automatically convert alarms from Applications Manager to incidents in ServiceNow. These incidents can then be tracked in ServiceNow till their resolution. 

The Real Browser monitor now detects the components of a web page such as images, style sheets, script files, etc. and shows the page load time for each of these components in a waterfall model. You can use this information to optimize your website and decrease its loading time. 

•  The AS400 monitor now supports for monitoring multiple message queues.
• The File/Directory monitor now includes an option to provide a condition to clear a content match alert. You can now check for the presence of specific content in the logs (eg: “Started”). If the content matches, a clear alert will be generated and the monitor marked as ‘Up’.
• Windows Monitoring Enhancement: Applications Manager can now monitor Windows tasks – both system/application defined and user-created custom tasks. It can track a task's current status, last run time, last run result, next run time and the number of times a task has failed since its creation. You can set up Applications Manager to send you notifications if any task fails to execute, if a task gets deleted and if a task’s status changes.
• Enhancement to the APM Insight .Net agent - Recycling of Application Pools will be done on every restart of agent's Windows service.

How can you take version 12.6 for a spin?
