Configuring endpoints for monitoring

ServicePulse monitors NServiceBus endpoints for:

1. Endpoint availability (using heartbeat signals sent from the endpoint)
2. Failed messages (by monitoring the error queue defined for the endpoints)
3. Custom checks (defined and developed according to application needs)
4. Performance metrics

The following actions are required in order to monitor endpoints in ServicePulse:

1. Configure the NServiceBus.Heartbeat and/or NServiceBus.CustomChecks packages.
2. Enable auditing for all monitored endpoints (see auditing with NServiceBus). Forward audit data to a single audit and error queue that is monitored by a ServiceControl instance.
3. Configure the NServiceBus.Metrics.ServiceControl package.

These steps can all be managed with the NServiceBus.ServicePlatform.Connector package.
