Monitoring APP-V Management Server

eG Enterprise provides a 100%, web-based APP-V Management Server monitoring model that periodically checks the availability of the APP-V Management server, monitors the authentication of the server, monitors the APP-V database and reports its responsiveness for the requests received, and sends out proactive alerts to administrators if abnormalities are sensed in any of the monitored activities.

Using the metrics reported , administrators can find quick and accurate answers for the following performance questions:

  • Is the APP-V Management Server able to communicate with the APP-V database i.e., the Microsoft SQL server database?;
  • How long does it take for the APP-V database to respond to a request?;
  • Is the database query execution successful? Is the database connection available?;
  • Is the APP-V management server available and is it authenticated?;
  • How many events were generated for the Publishing Admin Log and what are they?;
  • How many events were generated for the Management Admin Log and what are they?;
  • How many events were generated for the Publishing Operational Log and what are they?

The Hardware, Operating System, Network, TCP and Application Processes layers of the App-V  Management Server monitoring model is similar to that of a Windows server model. Refer to the Hardware Monitoring by eG Enterprise to know more about the tests pertaining to the Hardware layer and the Unix and Windows Servers model for more details about the tests pertaining to all other layers.
