Throttling

Info

Check if the BizTalk Server environment is in the throttling state longer than the user-defined threshold.

Here's an example of the Throttling resource as seen in a Nodinite Monitor View.

Category Name = "Health Check"
Resource Name="Throttling"

What's being evaluated for 'Throttling'?

The evaluated state is provided in the table below:

Throttling is normal in BizTalk(!), Nodinite evaluates if the throttling state has been active for more than X minutes for example:

• Message delivery throttling state
• Message publishing throttling state
