TFS MOM Pack update

I'm still hoping to hear more input/feedback on what sorts of stats/conditions you'd like to see exposed in a MOM pack for TFS.

Here's a list of some of the top scenarios we're planning around (this list is by no means complete, it's just a sample):

• Long running applications or processes
• "Something" happened (various scenarios around features being offline or not behaving as expected)
• Recent errors and other events
• "Heartbeat" style transactions (verify the availability and/or performance of various components)

If you're interested in the operational side of TFS, please take a look at my last post and let us know if you have additional suggestions/feedback on our brainstorming for this area.

  I'm always a fan of tracking "size" data, and being able to do so inside the MOM interface would be cool, perhaps
  - stats on the AT file cache (access, hits, misses, ratios, content count, content size)
  - stats on the various proxy file caches (same data as the AT cache)
  - free disk space on relevant drives on the AT, proxy, DT, build machines, etc. (likely done outside of our MOM pack)
  - workspace/user/files/folders/projects counts/sizes
  - "activity log" data - counts of each successful and failed calls (so you can notice when there's a spike of failed Get operations, for instance)
  
  Of course, related derivative data (may be done by MOM or a warehouse interface rather than our pack)
  - trending data to show expected size/date combinations, especially to help figure out when you'll need to plan capacity upgrades
  - trending data on CPU/memory consumption (likely not something we'll expose through our particular MOM pack, of course), also for planning needed capacity upgrades
