SCOM: Using SCOM 2012 Beta to collect .NET callstacks in AVIcode style

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Alex Shlega

.NET APM in SCOM 2012 Beta seems to have many of the features of the previous AVIcode version (5.7), but some of them are hidden. In this video, I am going to demonstrate that we can still collect callstack information, though it requires a bit more efforts to configure APM that way. Continue reading →

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Alex Shlega

From a certain standpoint, AVIcode brings Devops practices. There is no way to implement AVIcode successfully if operations team is isolated from the development team.
