Configure Monitoring

This topic describes how to use AppFabric cmdlets to configure an application or a service to use monitoring. The cmdlets that you can use for configuring monitoring are Start-ASAppMonitoring, Get-ASAppMonitoring, Set-ASAppMonitoring, and Stop-ASAppMonitoring.

To execute an AppFabric cmdlet interactively, open the Windows PowerShell console for AppFabric, enter the appropriate cmdlet, and then press ENTER. For more information about executing cmdlets, see Running AppFabric Cmdlets.
