I know that MS SCOM has a managment pack where this KPI is monitored but how do I
get the same info into SAM? We are using BizTalk 2009.
The easiest/best way to monitor for this type event is the same way SCOM does, and that's through the event log message that's created when this condition occurs. Below is an example Windows Event Log entry from an older version of BizTalk but the concept is the same. Simply create a new Windows Event Log Monitor in SAM to monitor for the event type that corresponds to the error condition you want to monitor and be alerted to.
Description:
The receive location "SQL://AMSDC2-S-XXX\FSTO/VT_MA/" is shutting down.
Details:"The error threshold has been exceeded. The receive location is
shutting down.".
