What tools does your company use to manage asp.net application performance?

Question

I'm not talking about application profilers or debuggers, but more specifically for managing applications in a production environment. So basically track, identify bottlenecks, deploy patches.

Answer 1

Nagios is used to monitor the operation of the application. We also use the good old performance monitor to monitor database connections, memory usage and CPU usage.

Answer 2

We use IPMonitor to check uptime, and it has many options for checking the site, checking the keyword, checking the HTTP response, and response time. You can also use SNMP to determine the responsiveness of the processor and RAM and the rest of the size of the hard drives, among many other options. It supports multiple servers and server types, not just a website or database.

In addition, we check the basic speed and response speed using AlertSite.

A third party, Keynote, is testing our sites to verify that they are navigable the way people would browse. They have scripts to simulate clicks and interactions.

We use Spotlight to manage the SQL server, as well as a good old perfmon to detail the problem.

Answer 3

We recently purchased WildMetrix for monitoring and troubleshooting performance issues for our ASP.NET applications. This is good because you can easily aggregate IIS, ASP.NET, and SQL Server information into a single graph or toolbar, allowing you to pinpoint potential problems. We are currently using it as the primary reporting and performance tracking tool along with ELMAH to track exceptions.
