1. Throttling Data Collection Service Status

This displays the status of Throttling Performance Collection Service. Throttling analyser depends on the healthy running of the background BizTalk360 monitoring service. There are 3 different statuses:

  • Running - represented in 'green'
  • Not running (stopped / paused) - represented in 'red'
  • Unknown status - represented in 'gray'

The status also represents the last time the service collected the performance counter data.

To know how to enable throttling service, please read How to start/pause Throttling Performance Counters collection service?


2. Buttons to switch between Publish or Delivery Throttling types

Switching between the Publish and Delivery Throttling will update the chart to represent the performance counter data for the selected date time range.


3. Options to select date and time range to display throttling data

There are four different date time ranges the user can select to see the performance counter data on the chart as desired. They are:

  • Last 30 Minutes - represents data for last 30 minutes of the current day.
  • Today - represents data from 00:00 hours and current time of the current day.
  • Yesterday - represents data from 00:00 hours of yesterday to 00:00 hrs of current day.
  • Last 7 Days - represents data within the last 7 day time period from the current instance of time.
  • Custom Date and Time Range - user can select any date and time range within the last 7 days to see data within the desired date and time range. By default, this option will have the date and time range for the past 2 hours selected to help the user to quickly see the data for the last 2 hours.

At any instance, the user will be able to see data only for the past 7 days at the maximum based on the purging policy as explained here: How long do we store the throttling performance counter data?
