Nov 8, 2017Aaron Hallberg
Summary
This post recommends using System Center Operations Manager with SQL, IIS, and Windows management packs, supplemented by custom monitors and web application transaction monitoring (specifically hitting the ProjectCollections REST endpoint), for monitoring on-premises Team Foundation Server deployments. It advises against shipping a TFS management pack for TFS 2018, as the existing TFS management packs are deemed less valuable and noisier than the recommended approach. It also details how to monitor the TFS Job Agent and Build Agents using the Windows Service management pack template and existing documentation.
