Metalogix® Diagnostic Manager
Updated March 2020
Version 5.0
Welcome to Metalogix Diagnostic Manager
Metalogix Diagnostic Manager is a powerful and intuitive monitoring solution that primarily helps administrators ensure the health of their SharePoint environment and the performance of their SharePoint applications. It saves time and money by dramatically reducing administrative overhead for IT and ensuring SharePoint business user productivity. Administrators can also use Metalogix Diagnostic Manager to monitor servers, client machines, and Web pages not associated with a SharePoint environment.
Metalogix Diagnostic Manager provides real time monitoring from a single console, enabling you to quickly identify, diagnose, and resolve performance and availability problems. It also provides critical information for capacity planning by storing historical performance data of all the monitored servers. It monitors in real time, providing a comprehensive set of metrics that enable administrators to quickly pinpoint performance and availability issues related to server performance, resource usage and poorly performing HTML controls, solutions and Web controls.
Key features include the following:
·Continuous, automated monitoring from a central console.
·Intuitive dashboard user interface for an "at-a-glance" view of SharePoint and server health.
·Page component level performance analysis.
·Summary and detail performance metrics.
·Automated alerting of poorly performing pages, controls and server performance issues.
·Repository of historical performance for trending and analysis.
·Comprehensive reporting.
·Centralized SharePoint Unified Logging System (ULS) logging for all SharePoint servers in the farm.

Solve SharePoint performance problems even when SharePoint is not available. |
Because Metalogix Diagnostic Manager runs outside of SharePoint, you have access to historical data, alerts issued, up to the minute performance information, and much more for all SharePoint servers in your farm. Metalogix Diagnostic Manager helps eliminate the risk of spending hours trying to find out what might have caused your SharePoint environment to fail or perform badly. |
