ServicePulse Design Principles:

Central monitoring for all system endpoints

Clearly indicate status: OK / Problem

Near real-time and up-to-date display

Works with all NServiceBus OOTB transports

Report from the Endpoint’s perspective

Extensible and customizable

Control Q ServiceControl Plugins collect and report

about:

• Endpoint Heartbeats

• Custom Checks

• Saga activity data

• and more…

Health: Endpoint Heartbeat

Endpoint Control Q

• Heartbeat plugin sends heartbeat message every 10 seconds (configurable)

• ServicePulse expects every endpoint to emit heartbeats periodically

• Endpoints can opt-out of ServicePulse monitoring

// NuGet Console per Endpoint:Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.Heartbeat

Interlude:

What is an “Active Endpoint” ?

• Definition of an “Active Endpoint””:

• Monitored by ServicePulse

and

• Heartbeats are received and processed as expected

Introduction to ServiceInsight for NServiceBusProduction Monitoring with ServicePulse

Dependencies: Custom Checks

Endpoint Control Q

• Identify endpoint specific dependencies

• Author and deploy Custom Checks to check dependencies

• Alert when dependency requirements are not met

• Common examples: storage, connectivity, external services availability, authn/authz etc.

// NuGet Console per Endpoint:Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks

1. Create class library project

2. Add NuGet CustomChecks plugin: Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks

3. Author Custom Check that derives from CustomCheck or PeriodicCheck:

4. Copy CustomCheck DLL to endpoint Bin directory

5. Add NuGet CustomChecks plugin to Endpoint:

Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks

Exceptions and Errors

Endpoint Error Q

• All Endpoints forward failed messages to central error queue

• Full Exception stack trace (& message body)

• Launch ServiceInsight for in-depth analysis

• Possible actions:

• Retry (re-send for processing)

or

• Archive (when re-processing is not an option)
