Overview: This post is applicable to public website and not just SharePoint, I have used it for SharePoint and feel it is a good product. The principle will apply to other monitoring products and services.
AlertFox is a SaaS monitoring service. It allows me to monitor various websites using http posts or complicate macros to perform various steps such as logging into a website using ACS. This differs from an internal monitoring service such as Solar Winds but it definitely has it's place. I discuss
various monitoring options in this post.
The
benefits are:
- You are notified when the site is down and what the issue is from a web request point of view.
- You are monitoring externally so you can see what you customers see.
- You can see if your response time are slowing down.
- You keep the IIS webservers warmed up (so if you have an app pool recycle).
- Easy to monitor and you can setup alerts.
- Complex scenarios can be accounted for in testing so you know the complex parts of your site are working.
