SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor Detects SharePoint Problem Caused Due to IIS

SharePoint web portal wouldn’t launch. Checking on Server & Application Monitor led me to identifying where the issue was and that was the IIS server. I restarted IIS, and the SharePoint application was able to run.

After deploying SolarWinds, identifying and troubleshooting application issues has become over 100% faster.

AppInsight Templates in Server & Application Monitor Take The Guesswork Out of Monitoring

The AppInsight templates are very useful. As a system administrator, we don’t always know what type of metrics we should be monitoring and SolarWinds AppInsight templates take the guesswork out of monitoring things like SQL and IIS.
