Hello All,

I am looking for a Monitoring solution which can monitor Azure environment(VMs,Storage,Traffic, Load balance,all azure services), application, Network traffic and process level. It also needs to be alert when anything went down or increase in utilization. The main application service and performance to be monitored are Cassandra, RabbitMQ, IIS.

I have evaluated the service DATADOG, New Relic & Dynatrace .Datadog and Newrelic required to do configuration on the agent to get the application metric but Dynatrace is having an auto discovery feature. Datadog Azure plugin is not able to get Linux metric and no offering alert icon on the portal top page for an easy monitoring. New Relic is not having Azure plugin and required customisation on the agent to get required application. Dynatrace seems better but not having the plugin for Cassandra but other two have the feature.

I request you all to advise me a good solution which is having all the features which am looking.

1. Azure Infra monitor (VM's Status, VMs CPU,Memory, Traffic metrics, Disk I/O metrics, Loadbalance traffic..etc)
2. Application Plugin for Cassandra, RabbitMQ, IIS ( need the application performance metrics)
3. Alert on Application, VMs failure..etc and display alert icon on portal top page
4. Need to configure alert for resource utilization and display alert icon when increase in the configured threshold
5. Need to configure service or process level alert.

Thanks in advance

@Dashrender CloudBerry Backup leverages Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Technology to backup opened files

@scottalanmiller Yes Scott, Its a good solution if we want a Continuous Real-time Backup (CDP)

With this feature every change to the files will be captured automatically and you don't need to set up a separate schedule for the backup. The software will automatically look for new and modified files and send the copies to the cloud storage in the background.

@scottalanmiller Thanks Scott

In CloudBerry backup there is an option to do Real-Time backup and this will execute to backup the change in every 60 sec.

This option satisfy my need as it will backup files to aws on real-time and file deleted from local will not get deleted from AWS.

Thanks All for the support.

Hello All,

Any one using any software to SYNC local folder to AWS S3 Bucket.

We need only one-way Sync, as the local folder files will be cleanup every week, but all the files need to be in S3 Bucket. This Sync can be schedule as 5 mins or less

Thanks in advance

We are looking for a on prim.

If Skype for Business is a PBX itself then can i migrate all the elastix extensions to Skype for Business ?

Another questions is with the current setup am not having any latency on VOIP call and only impact to local site on PBX failure as we have PBX on each site.But if i have a centralize Skype for Business then the local site VOIP call will have latency and Server failure cause the entire site VOIP down.

Thanks all for the support.
