Prerequisites

  • Article

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2

The following requirements must be met for each Windows Azure application:

  • The management group must be running Operations Manager 2007 R2 Cumulative Update 3.

  • The Windows Azure role must be published with full trust level. For more information about Windows Azure trust levels, see Windows Azure Partial Trust Policy Reference (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=191346).

  • Windows Azure Diagnostics must be enabled. For more information about Windows Azure Diagnostics, see Implementing Windows Azure Diagnostics (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=186765).

  • Windows Azure Diagnostics must be configured to forward diagnostic data to a Windows Azure storage account. For more information about configuring Windows Azure Diagnostics, see Transferring Diagnostic Data to Windows Azure Storage (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=191347).

    Important

    The connection string for Windows Azure Diagnostics must be specified in the service configuration file (.cscfg) and should not be hardcoded in the application. By default, the Monitoring Pack for Windows Azure Applications references the DiagnosticsConnectionString setting name in the service configuration file. If a different name is used in the service configuration file, you must override the Diagnostics Storage Account Setting Name parameter for Windows Azure Hosted Service Total Discovery.

  • The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or newer must be installed on the computer that you designate as the proxy agent when you configure the Monitoring Pack for Windows Azure Applications.

You must manually ensure that the prerequisites are met. The monitoring pack does not validate that prerequisites are met.
