Manager SharePoint Web Part on the SharePoint server. A user that has administrative per-
missions on the SharePoint server must install the Operations Manager SharePoint Web Part.

You can use Application Performance Monitoring (APM) to monitor Internet Information
Services (IIS) hosted .NET and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications from
both the perspective of the server that hosts the application, and the client that is interacting
with the application. APM allows you to use Operations Manager to collect detailed informa-
tion about a specific application's performance and reliability.
You configure Application Performance Monitoring using the .NET Application Perfor-
mance Monitoring Template that is available through the Authoring workspace of the Opera-
tions console.
To view Application Performance Monitoring event details, you'll need the Operations
Manger web console. It's also necessary to import the following management packs and their
dependencies into Operations Manager:
■
Windows Server 2008 IIS 7.0
■
Operations Manager APM Web IIS 7
If you need to monitor applications hosted on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server
2012 R2, you'll need to import the following management packs and their dependencies:
■
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 IIS 8
■
Microsoft System Center APM Web IIS 8
Once you have installed these management packs, you can view the ASP.NET applications
that Operations Manager finds in the Monitoring workspace, under Application Monitoring,
under the .NET Monitoring node in the ASP.NET Web Application Inventory node. You'll be
able to view WCF applications under the IIS Hosted WCF Web Service Inventory node.
When APM discovers an application, you'll usually need to restart IIS before you can start
monitoring. You need to restart IIS so that the application pools recycle. This enables the APM
extensions, and allows the APM function to register with the application.
The server-side monitoring capabilities of APM include:
■
Performance event monitoring and alerting.
■
Exception event monitoring and alerting.
■
Modifying performance event threshold.
