mrldg123

Hello,

Does anyone know if component services and and message queues on a Windows OS can be monitored through SolarWinds?

Many thanks.

Message queues like MSMQ can be monitores. Many others as well. By "component services", do you mean normal services then? If so yes they can be monitored both regarding status and resource usage.

SAM is the module for that.

that is depending on some qualifications. Transient MSMQ queues with nothing in them will not appear to exist. They only exist when there is a message in them. Other MSMQ's that have been sitting empty for a period of time will have their perfmon data age out and will appear to not exist. Transient MSMQ's may best be monitored using powershell to account for a "not-found" state which would equate to queue depth of 0.

Hi,

By component services, I mean services that are required for another service to run. Would monitoring them be like monitoring any other service in SAM?

yes
