With the new support for Active Directory and SharePoint customers now have an simple path for setting up and managing monitoring for these popular directory and collaboration tools. With Active Directory monitoring, Application Insights monitors over a dozen important performance counter metrics for domain controller utilization such as CPU and Memory and AD specific metrics such as LDAP searches, binds and DNS queries . For SharePoint, Application Insights watches Health Analyzer and Timer Jobs in the Windows Event Logs along with other key Unified Logging System (Uls) and IIS Log events and metrics. Based on the insights provided by these metrics, you can decide to deploy or remove additional domain controllers, modify the instances running the services (i.e. add memory or compute) or determine the root cause of issues.
