Integration failures explained before they page you at 3 AM.
Monitoring insight from 100+ enterprise environments, for teams moving off BizTalk. Join today and we send you The Hidden Monitoring Gap as a welcome bonus.
- Failure patterns before they hit you — Each issue unpacks a failure mode we keep seeing across 100+ enterprise estates — so you fix it in an afternoon instead of meeting it in production.
- Written for the hybrid years — You will run BizTalk and Azure side by side longer than planned. We cover what keeps working, what silently stops, and what to check next.
- Plus, on joining: The Hidden Monitoring Gap — The 6 domains that decide whether your monitoring survives migration, with a 7-question self-assessment. Score 7 and you are ahead of 95% of migration teams.
"Azure Monitor has it covered" is how the gap begins
Azure Monitor will tell you the Logic App ran. It will not tell you that purchase order 48291 never reached the ERP.
That is the gap. Resource health stays green while an order worth millions sits silently on a Service Bus queue — for days, because in Azure a stuck message no longer throws an error. It waits.
The guide maps the six places this bites after go-live, while you can still design for them. The newsletter keeps watching them with you, estate by estate, long after cutover.
Inside the guide
The 6 monitoring domains
From knowing what you have to proving it and protecting it — the areas that decide whether monitoring survives, distilled from 100+ migrations.
A 7-question self-assessment
Score yourself in five minutes. 0–2 means address the gaps before migrating; 7 puts you ahead of 95% of migration teams.
The async trap
In BizTalk a stuck message threw an error. In Azure it waits, silently, for days. What your alerting must learn before cutover.
The numbers
Boliden values integration monitoring at 10–20 MSEK a year, measured in production stops and wrong-currency invoices avoided.
Azure Monitor vs integration monitoring
A capability-by-capability comparison — resource health, message tracking by order ID, cross-platform tracing — and why most organizations need both.
What to do at your stage
Concrete next steps for early planning, mid-migration, and post-go-live — including when it is safe to decommission BizTalk monitoring.
“In BizTalk, about 20 adapters. In Azure, hundreds of services that can fail in all sorts of different ways.”
