11. Introduction to ServiceInsight for NServiceBusProduction Monitoring with ServicePulse
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

Endpoint
Audit Q
Error Q
Control Q ServiceControl Plugins collect and report
about:
• Endpoint Heartbeats
• Custom Checks
• Saga activity data
• and more…
// NuGet Console per Endpoint:
Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.Heartbeat
Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks
Install-Package SeviceControl.Plugin.SagaAudit

14. Introduction to ServiceInsight for NServiceBusProduction Monitoring with ServicePulse
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

15. Introduction to ServiceInsight for NServiceBusProduction Monitoring with ServicePulse

DEMO:
Endpoint Heartbeat

16. Introduction to ServiceInsight for NServiceBusProduction Monitoring with ServicePulse
Interlude:
What is an “Active Endpoint” ?
• Definition of an “Active Endpoint””:
• Monitored by ServicePulse
and
• Heartbeats are received and processed as expected

17. 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

18. 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

20. Introduction to ServiceInsight for NServiceBusProduction Monitoring with ServicePulse
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)
