Make application monitoring easier (like System Center Management Packs)
Monitoring an Azure application, which maybe is using SQL Azure, WCF for hosting services and underlying components like Asp.Net and IIS is not easy for customers at the moment. The Azure management API allows to get access to most of the required information, but each customer eneds to create her own way to analyze these informationa nd define rules to notify administrators and so on. I really like System Center Management packs - and i would like the opportunity to define the monitoring requirements for an Azure application in a similar way. A default management pack for Windows Azure/SQL Azure containing the logic to analyze Asp.Net, WCF and IIS perf counters/logs should be provided and the only necessary step for customers should be to add the application specific logic.
