Now I’d like to talk about the hybrid and public cloud monitoring.
So in public what we have is Windows Azure, but also there are other companies who are having these cloud services. Especially for Amazon web services we do, they actually offer the management pack that integrates with Operations Manager so you can utilize that as well.
So for now I’d like to talk about the public cloud monitoring piece of it first, dedicated on Windows Azure. Recently we have released this new Windows Azure management pack that allows you to monitor the Windows Azure services itself but also those components that is living on top of your Windows Azure.

So let’s drill into it a little bit and kind of see what the key capabilities are within Windows Azure Management Pack.
So it gives you the holistic view of course, the dashboard view with Ops Manager, it gets you automatically those cloud services and the virtual machines and the storages that you have got from Windows Azure, it’s automatically going to retrieve that and you would actually need to configure those resources that you want to have it monitored in a more in depth view.
And also it gives you the certificate expiration monitoring piece so whenever you have like a three month trial or if you have a year of subscription, it’s going to allow you to give you an alert whenever that is being expired or not and in the close future.
It also gives you a hybrid application monitoring point of view which I will demo a little bit later on, gives you distributed application capabilities that we originally had in Ops Manager and extending that to Windows Azure and retrieving all those components that is living in Windows Azure, attaching that to describe a single application, we also provide that functionality as well.
And you also can have a basic task that you want to throw at Windows Azure for example like running the machine or running certain services you would be able to do that as well within Ops Manager and again you can have a topology point of view and linked all the services that’s attached with that application you will also able to view that as well.
And if some of those if you have tried to download and deploy Windows Azure management pack that was released a couple years ago, the set up method was not that straight forward, but this time around with the newly released management pack all you need to do is write down the subscription, upload your certificate and you’re good to go, so it’s easy as that.

Demo
So let me just show you how the Azure monitoring management pack looks like.
So with Windows Azure Management Pack once that is deployed within your Operations Manager if you have that as your management pack installed you would see this Windows Azure tab here and all you would need to do is add a subscription, write that down and upload your use your certificate file that you have uploaded within Windows Azure and have the password and you’re pretty much good to go. So I have a couple of certificate that I have pre-uploaded here and these are the same subscription and it’s probably the same method that you would go through with just the screen that I have shown you.
So once that is done if you look at the monitoring tab here you would see some of those discovered resource inventory that is living in Azure, so for this part you don’t necessarily need to do anything at this point. But if you want to see more of an in depth view you would have to configure that within your operations tab here in authoring.
So if you go to authoring and create a monitoring wizard here, I would like to create one Windows Monitoring, I will hide this, just to have a better view and click next, Azure monitoring and I select one of the Azure management pack configuration and then you will be able to have subscription ID for you to monitor. Now you can actually create multiple subscriptions so that’s the good thing about this, you can actually incorporate a lot of the services that you are using within your environment and you would see some of the cloud services whether you want to monitor this or not, it’s going to be on production or stage, so I’m going to click OK and click next.
And then you will also have virtual machine, if there’s no virtual machine you wouldn’t see anything but let’s just change the subscription here just to show you the virtual machine management capabilities. I click next.
Then I search here and I’ll see one of the, not even a window, I go into Windows Azure Linux box here, click next and then you can also potentially monitor all of the storage accounts that you have here and you’re looking at the storage like capacity and so forth, that’s going to be created here once you added the monitoring wizard.
So after doing this you would have a much more in depth view of looking at the resources, discover resources but you can actually have an in depth view of it, of seeing how much of it is being utilized within your Azure. And if you do this you would actually be able to have the integrated topology view of how that service is up and running so I do have that view here which I will be showing in a sec, so once that is happening you will be able to see like if there’s an error with some of the storage accounts. Like for example if you exceed your storage capacity it’s going to go down and all your virtual machines are going to go down right, but it’s not going to be easy for you to understand after the failure of that virtual machine if you don’t have this Ops Manager, you would actually need to go into the management portal, you wouldn’t have the alert and so forth so it’s going to be hard for you to kind of nail down on how that is being used before the problem actually occurs.
So I go to the monitoring tab here and after it’s being discovered I would see some of the monitored Azure resources here, I look at this, it is being monitored, right, so if I look at the health explorer it’s going to basically see the explorability and the performance is going to be there so these are the basic information. And again, you would need to deploy any of the Ops Management agent within this virtual machine, it’s just going to allow you to look at the state here. Once of the interesting thing is the subscription state, this is the thing that I told you about, on the multiple subscription ID you have enrolled here. You would see when that is going to be expired and if that is in a warning stage it’s going to tell you when it’s going to soon expire or not.
And if you go to the role stage there are multiple roles that I have deployed within Windows Azure so then you would see some of the multiple roles where the path is at and whether that is running on a healthy state or not.
And you can also look at the disk capacity of each of the deployed target services for example the disks within that and also not just on a disk but on a memory utilization and on a processor performance and so forth it’s going to all be gotten it automatically without you having to deploy any other resources within that Azure components.
So here you see that some of the issues have been resolved, has been occurred later, yesterday, late night yesterday, and that’s some of those things that you want to troubleshoot, want to go ahead and look at the active alerts at that point and time.
And we can also have a topology view if you look at the topology dashboard view here, this is those things that I had mentioned about, so you can actually see what kind of the services that I’m running is being connected to those services that I have deployed within Windows Azure that I have been using.
And you can also have the services state and here I am seeing some of the errors state here, I look at the health explorer and see that the web application monitoring within different locations are being hit, which means that this Dinner Now Azure service is not being run so we’re having multiple alerts from that point.
So some of those active alerts, pretty much the same that you will see when the Ops Manager agent is being deployed but here one of the interesting thing is that with the Dinner Now web services that you have deployed it’s going to have an in depth view of the application performance monitoring which you would achieve from .NET application as well as JAVA application, you would have within your data center so if that is something that you have deployed as a service within Windows Azure, it’s going to automatically get all those information and application point of view. So this is pretty strong because you would actually get to know the performance of the server side of the world that is living within Windows Azure and you would actually get that information with the basic management pack you would deploy within Operations Manager.
So that is basically what you would get just out of the box if you deploy the Windows Azure Management Pack so it’s pretty simple. You would get all the information, just enroll the subscription, upload your certificate and automatically it’s going to get there and just create the Windows Azure monitoring wizard then you will be able to monitor an in depth view that I have just shown you.

Right now what about those applications that you want to monitor but that is living not just on Windows Azure or on probably Amazon web services but also on your data center. It could be your private cloud, it could be just your host machine that you are running within your data center but there may be a lot of different applications that run in such a way.
For example I have seen a lot of online gaming companies on their test bed where they have their portal actually being connected to public cloud services and they have like their own middle tier and database tier that is running within their data center and some of them are managed by the private cloud because it’s a test bed, they want to add scale out when the requests are high, but their initial point is going to be on the public cloud.
Now if you want to see that as a single point of view on a distributed application we were able to do that before the days when we used the public cloud and the private cloud. Now we have that view of the public cloud, we get the information that something is running on Windows Azure and having that implemented within the distributed application view you can actually utilize those information as well.
All right, so that’s one of the key things that you would do in the hybrid cloud monitoring

So here let’s say there’s a certain application that is running on Windows Azure and some of the components are running on private cloud. It could be the database could normally be on your private cloud some of it just on services just on Windows Azure but at the end of the day it’s being used with a single application.

Demo
So now let me look at the demo of how you can actually do that here.
It’s pretty straight forward, for those of you who are pretty familiar with distributed application which most of the customers do, actually really heavily use when it comes to Operations Manager, think of that just extending to monitoring your extended resources that is put up on Windows Azure. so let me go to that screen here, Windows Azure and I go to the authoring and if I go to the distributed application let me just create one just for an example, MVA app and then I go to Windows Azure distributed application, now this is a new template that we have, and then I click OK.
It’s going to provide you the basic topology of that application so for instance if you have a perspective that I want to have this perspective as a client, which is the web 02 and I want to monitor that in this client perspective and let’s go to the Windows Azure cloud services, now this is the important piece of it now.
If you look at the Windows Azure cloud services it’s automatically going to get all those services that is actually running on Windows Azure so for example, if you have a certain service that is connected to, if you want to see it as this point of view, distributed application, you would just simply have this tier layered monitoring capability and have that view in a single topology right.
So let me just kind of view what I have pre-created, for example if I have a service that requires a web page, a data base and the middle tier and also the network tier but also you can add those in Windows Azure right, so that’s how you can actually create the distributed application here and so I think this is the example here. If I look at the diagram it’s going to show you the Dinner Now Azure, but I’m seeing that some of the components that it’s running on Azure it’s running fine, but the watcher node is giving you a critical state, and seeing that the service is probably not really publically viewed from this point of a view.
So these are those things that you can actually create for a distributed application and of course if you look at the monitoring tab here and then if you go to the distributed application you would be able to monitor that distributed application just like you would see from the view before as well.
So having said that, whether your application really lives on your data center but connected that to Windows Azure that’s really not a problem for Windows Azure to really monitor a single point of view and the most important thing about this view is it’s all about mean time to resolution. If there’s a problem you would want to identify where that problem is coming from and one of the most important thing is because we have so complex infrastructure today you wouldn’t really know until you drill down into it of whether there’s a problem issue that is on Windows Azure or whether that is on your hypervisor level of your data center that the application living in or the operating system or the workload or the multiple different tiers that you have deployed for that application. Now this actually gives you a view of why we are telling you that there’s an error with that application and we are trying to really minimize your effort to go and see where that problem really lives in.
So that’s what this distributed application really allows you to do it consists of the networking piece and not just on your data center but also on how that connectivity is within Windows Azure from different point of a view as well if you want to monitor that within your data center or within Windows Azure that is also doable as well.
So hybrid cloud is really about monitoring different layers of workloads or really about the application itself and not really about where and how that is being used but where that problem really lives in right.

So coming from private cloud to monitoring Windows Azure and as I have mentioned before we do have that management pack provided by Amazon, Amazon web services, we do have a really in depth view of those information that we retrieve from EC2 instances and that is super in depth detailed information that we can get so we can actually collect that as well within your distributed application and monitor that with Amazon web services but also as you have seen on Windows Azure and also obviously your private cloud that you have created within your data center or your traditional data center environment that you are utilizing today.
So that’s pretty much it, what I have for now, and for next, I would like to go ahead and talk about your traditional monitoring capabilities, which is System Center, Operations Manager strongest point of operating system monitoring and some of the workloads that we provide as a management pack and have a really in depth view of how that is being monitored.
So having said that I’ll see you folks in a short time and I hope you will stay tuned to the session.
Thank you very much.
