In this session, we will discuss some common challenges that customers have in monitoring distributed applications and how they are addressed in Operations Manager 2007.

| Demo: Monitoring Data Sources
In this demonstration, we will show how to use Operations Manager 2007 to monitor both local and remote data sources. Operations Manager 2007 includes the ability to schedule a synthetic transaction that attempts to connect to the data source at regular intervals, monitors the connection response time, and records this as a performance counter.

| Demo: Monitoring Custom Applications
In this demonstration, we look at the monitoring wizard that allows you to type a simple URL and provides you with monitoring data, similar to the Web Sites and Services management pack in MOM 2005. The other important area that we cover in this demonstration is monitoring a dependency that you may have on a third-party provider or on another company's Web service that is used by your application.
