Host Throttling

In BizTalk, you might sometimes see that the performance of the server is going down or being slow. It might be that BizTalk is in a throttling situation. The purpose of BizTalk host throttling monitoring is to notify the customers if there is any throttling happening in their environment.

Setting up monitoring for Host Throttling

1. Log in to the BizTalk360 application
2. Click 'Monitoring' in the navigation panel
3. Click the expand button against the 'Manage Mapping' tab and select 'BizTalk Environment'
4. Select the Alarm name (see Manage Alarms) from the drop-down for which you would like to associate the alerts
5. Select the 'Host Throttling' tab. This will list the hosts that are available in the BizTalk environment
6. Let’s say, we want to monitor the BizTalkServerApplication host. Select the BizTalkServerApplication checkbox and click 'Enable monitoring'

By enabling monitoring, BizTalk360 will automatically start monitoring the host. The product will automatically collect the data and display the status (as Healthy or Error)

9. Click the 'Edit' button to open the Throttling Monitoring Rules blade window and configure the threshold alert for publishing and delivery throttling

10.Click 'Save' Configuration to monitor the host throttling

The configured host will get displayed in the host throttling tab

From the Platform Health alarm, the BizTalkServerApplication Host needs to be monitored for Throttling. In the case of Publish Throttling, a Warning should be sent in case of Rate Throttling or Process Memory Throttling. In case of Delivery Throttling, a Warning should be sent, when any throttling persists for more than 60 seconds.

Let's say, the administrator should get notified with a warning for publishing throttling if the rate throttling or the database session throttling persists for more than 60 seconds.
