Monitor a Web Service

Posted by on 2013/02/27 No comments

Ever wanted a way to monitor whether your web service is actually working or cannot monitor a resource directly and need to put a web service in between to access it? Well, I’ve added a SOAP Web service collector to QuickMon so it can monitor/alert  on issues/problems related to Web services.

See the documentation about this collector here.

A summary of the documetation:

This collector allows you to poll/query SOAP web services and interpret the results. It supports several simple ‘macros’ to make it easier to test returned values or even DataSets or Arrays.

MSMQ Monitor

I have this really old tool I create (literally) 10 years ago do help with some MSMQ related development stuff at the time. Since then I have hardly touched it (source code) but it still seems to work to this day – even on Windows 7. It was intended to help me/developers to ‘see’ what is going on inside some test queues while we were in the process of working with a system that we developed that uses the technology.

The ‘Tool’ is really simple yet really powerful to do just what it was intended – to monitor MSMQ queues and let you manipulate messages inside the queues. It can view/create/delete/resubmit and do all kind of crazy things with MSMQ messages. It even has a simple MSMQ stress tool built right in!

Of course, this tool is provided ‘as is’. I simply thought of sharing it if someone else might find it useful. The source code was/is written in plain old vb.net.
