Over the past couple of months I created several blog entries where I covered common problems with custom SharePoint applications with a special focus on SharePoint Lists, Views and the SharePoint Object Model.

dynaTrace SharePoint Package

I’ve now created a package that includes pre configured System Profile, Sensor Packs and Dashboards to answer questions like:

• What are the slowest/most often used SharePoint Pages?
• Which are the slowest/most often used SharePoint Lists and Views?
• What are the most critical/slowest WebParts?
• What CAML queries are executed and how do they influence performance?
• Is there a SharePoint Object Model related Memory Leak?
• Is there a SharePoint configuration or deployment issues that cause overhead?

If you are a dynaTrace customer you can login to our community portal and download the page from here: https://www.dynatrace.com/community/display/DL/SharePoint+Package

Overview of Dashboards

The following screenshots show the dashboards that come with the package:

Conclusion

Use this package if you run Windows SharePoint Services or SharePoint Office Server in your environment and you want to get a quick start in monitoring and analyzing your SharePoint installation. Please also check all other SharePoint related blog entries that I’ve created over the past months. You should find interesting information about how to avoid common pitfalls in SharePoint Development and Deployment.
