Lastly, Microsoft provides a link to more information about their Management APIs, the same APIs utilized by the SCOM Management Pack for Office 365 for querying service health status and activity across your tenant. Azure AD Connect Health can’t do this and its critical.
Distributing CloudReady sensors across you different ingress and egress points enables you to see where in the network things are slowing down. You want proper baseline measurements and synthetic transactions are ideal for proper base-lining. Know about ADFS/SSO problems BEFORE they impact end-users. This is critical for a number of reasons: CloudReady exercises the network paths for SSO. The difference between this and the Exoprise CloudReady ADFS Sensors is that we synthetically fetch ADFS tokens every minute to tell you, end-to-end, in advance of a problem. It provides insight into the perfmon counters of an ADFS environment. This tool is a subset of System Center for ADFS and can be used for Azure AD as well. If you’re using Azure AD for Single Sign-On with Office 365, you can use the Azure AD Connect Health to monitor your Azure AD infrastructure. Again, this service only tells you about problems on the Microsoft datacenter end of ExpressRoute (their end) – not on your end or how you might be getting packets to ExpressRoute. Azure ExpressRoute Health will tell if you there is ExpressRoute health issues in the context of connecting to Azure (which is somewhat related to Office 365 but the details are murky). They call this out for Office 365 if you are a customer that happens to be using ExpressRoute to enhance connectivity to the Office 365 datacenters (typically for Skype for Business). Next on the list, Microsoft has the Azure Resource Health service. They also don’t tell you about when a problem has been resolved. They don’t tell you anything about your own network, proxies, firewalls, gateways and more. Service Health status messages are pretty slow to be created, slow to be updated and only tell you about problems Microsoft is having on their end. Its a great way to retrieve and distribute Service Health status messages but that’s all it really does. We’ve covered this management pack here and here. This is a token Microsoft plug for using the vast and successful System Center to Monitor Office 365 with their Office 365 Management Pack. Its a handy link to have and while having knowledge of Office 365 endpoints is important, its not really monitoring Office 365 connectivity (unless all you want to do is ping stuff which isn’t monitoring). This is pretty important if you are proxying Office 365, and they provide updates on the respective link. The first isn’t really a tool but a link, RSS feed, and guidance about the different DNS names and Office 365 datacenter endpoints that exist. Also, we’ll cover some of the lost and hard to find performance monitoring and troubleshooting tools from Microsoft. Let’s dive in and take a look to understand what the Microsoft analyzer tools and links do. They have a list on this page right here at. Microsoft has some tools, information and links for monitoring and troubleshooting Office 365 connectivity and networking.
