[OpsMgr 2012 SP1] Global Service Monitor for System Center 2012 SP1

The component that was introduced to us last year under the codename Outside-In will be included in Service Pack 1 System Center 2012. It's new name is Global Service Monitor for System Center 2012 SP1.

From the begining, OpsMgr 2007 availability and performance of a WEB application was done from one or more "watcher" machine. Monitor overall service extends this system by providing services in the Azure Cloud which lets you monitor a Web application from the outside. Today, this service can be tested from 13 test points in the word (Soa Paulo, Sydney, Paris... and 10 ohers locations).



It seems that today, only applications that have public access can be monitored by Global Service Monitor due to the fact that it doesn't support the authentication for now.

Data are collected in System Center Operations Managers and Global Service Monitor allows the creation of dashboards to visualize application availability from the various test points.

If you already operations manager 2012, you can find on the blog System Center Technet a documentation to test Global Service Monitor.

Nothing has been raised about the prizing even if it should be done by URL monitored.
