BizTalk Performance counters
18. October 2012
Tip: To see all counters at least one host must be running!
Performance Counter• BizTalk: Message Agent
– Active Instance Count– Database sessions– Database session threshold– Database size– High database session– High database size– High in-process message count– High message delivery rate– High message publishing rate– High Process memory– High System memory– High thread count– In-process message count– In-process message count threshold– Message delivery delay (ms)
Performance Counter• BizTalk: Message Agent
– Message delivery incoming rate– Message delivery outgoing rate– Message delivery throttling state– Message delivery throttling state duration– Message delivery throttling user override– Message publishing delay (ms)– Message publishing incoming rate– Message publishing outgoing rate– Message publishing throttling state– Message publishing throttling state duration– Message publishing throttling user override– Physical memory usage (MB)– Process memory usage (MB)– Service Class ID– Thread count
Performance Counter• BizTalk: Message Agent
– Thread count threshold– Total batches omitted– Total message delivered– Total messages published
Performance Counters
• BizTalk: Message Box: General counters– Instances (total number)– MsgBox Dead processes cleanup (purge
job)– MsgBox Msg Cleanup (purge job)– MsgBox Parts Cleanup (purge job)– MsgBox Purge Subscriptions job (purge
job)– Spool size– Tracked msg body (purge job)– Tracking data size– Tracking spool cleanup
Performance Counters
• BizTalk: Message Box: Host counters– Host queue – Instance state msg refs – length– Host queue – length – Host queue – number of instances– Host queue – suspended messages - lengthr
Performance Counters
• BizTalk: TDDS– Batches being processed– Batches committed– Events being processed– Events committed– Records being processed– Records committed– Total batches– Total events– Total failed batches– Total failed events– Total records
Performance counters
• BizTalk:Messaging– Active Receive Location– Active Receive Threads– Active Send Messages– Active Send Threads– Documents processed (per second)– Documents received (per second)– Documents resubmitted (per second)– Documents suspended– Documents transmitted/batch– ID Process– Pending Receive Batches– Pending transmitted messages– Request/response timeouts– Throttled receive batches
Performance Counters
• BizTalk:Messaging Latency– Inbound Latency (sec)– Outbound Adapter Latency (sec)– Outbound Latency (sec)– Request-Response Latency (sec)
Performance counters• BizTalk:<adapterName>_Receive / Send adapter– Bytes Received– Bytes Received per second– Deleted retries– Lock failures– Lock failures per second– Message received– Messages received per second– Time to build batch
