Using AppMetrics to monitor your COM+ middle tier applications running on virtual servers is an effective way to ensure they are operating efficiently, and helps identify any bottlenecks which might exist.

Developing and testing your COM+ and .NET Serviced Component based applications is made easier by using AppMetrics to locate any problem areas before you place those applications in a production environment.

AppMetrics working together with SCOM 2007
AppMetrics integrates with Systems Center Operations Manager 2007 allowing for continuous monitoring of COM+ application health in a production environment. With AppMetrics configured for threshold monitoring of COM+ applications, transactions, and components, data center operations staff can see at a glance whether their applications are experiencing performance issues, have hung, or whether any of their applications have experienced fatal errors.
