Business operations must ensure their internal and external teams have full access to the content and collaborative services that SharePoint offers. To do that, administrators need an APM solution with total visibility across the SharePoint environment. AppDynamics works with SharePoint to provide details for complex tasks such as end-user monitoring, log analytics, and server support.

By using AppDynamics to monitor SharePoint, you can:

  • Monitor most SharePoint components (web applications, search components, workflow and Office Web Apps), using a mixture of .NET APM agents, EUM agents, analytics agents, and machine agents.
  • Understand what is occurring on the end-user page, and document navigation and browsing using End User Monitoring.
  • View APM partitions of user activity by content web applications.
  • Gain insights into Office Web Apps document rendering behavior.
  • View more details on search and query usage. 

    AppDynamics is not a replacement for the Systems Center Operations Management (SCOM) pack or a well-planned IBM Tivoli implementation, particularly when just interpreting PerfMon counters. SharePoint Server 2013 integrates with SCOM, which is very useful but still optional. AppDynamics is not meant to be a replacement for native monitoring tools but rather work together with tools from Microsoft and its robust partner ecosystem.

Before implementing this solution, download and read this eBook, and work with an AppDynamics expert in your organization, or AppDynamics Professional Services.
