What’s New In OM12 SP1

Even though SP1 for System Center 2012 isn’t RTM yet, already much is to be found on the internet about what SP1 is going to deliver. For OM12 an updated TechNet article is published all about the new capabilities and changes to found in the beta version of SP1 for OM12.

Please note:
Since SP1 for OM12 is still in beta the related TechNet article is pre-release documentation and subject to change in future releases.

Things I like very much are:

1. AVIcode was capable of monitoring services build on the .NET Framework. Now it’s back in APM;
2. APM: Automatic discovery of ASP.NET MVC3 and MVC4 Applications. So APM can cover them now as well;
3. APM: New Transaction Types: MVC Pages and WCF Methods;
4. APM is now enabled for SharePoint 20120;
5. APM: Integration with Team Foundation Server 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2012;
6. New MPs and support for Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8 (also for APM!);
7. 360 degree .NET Application Monitoring Dashboards;
8. ACS support for Dynamic Access Control;
9. Additional UNIX and Linux Monitoring Capabilities:
   1. CentOS,
   2. Debian,
   3. Ubuntu Linux;
10. Improved Heartbeat Monitoring.

So a good product is about to become even better! Want to know more? Go here.
