Distributed tracing per message. Full lineage from receive to deliver. Dashboards out of the box. Alerts that fire on real degradation, not on every transient blip. The successor to BizTalk BAM - without the SQL-Server-shaped homework assignment.
This is what your platform team sees in the console - a per-message trace, end-to-end, with per-stage latency. Click play to follow an ADT^A01 from receive to deliver.
Every message carries a trace ID. Forward traces to Datadog, Honeycomb, Grafana Tempo - or use the built-in viewer. No vendor lock-in.
Every message keeps a lineage record: who sent it, what touched it, what came out the other end. Replay any failed message with one click.
Throughput, error rate, queue depth, p99 latency - per pipeline, per environment. Drop into Grafana when you need more.
Default alerts on what actually breaks production: dead-letter spikes, SLA breaches, downstream-endpoint failures. Tunable per pipeline.
Stream audit and trace events to your SIEM in real time. JSON, CEF, syslog - whichever format your team already speaks.
Define an SLO per pipeline. Get paged when error budgets burn fast - not every time latency wobbles for 30 seconds.
BizTalk Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) was powerful but operationally heavy - SQL Server Analysis Services cubes, custom Tracking Profile Editor work, scheduled ETL just to surface a number. Art2link gives you the same answers in one place, without any of that machinery.
| BizTalk BAM concept | What it gave you | Art2link equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Tracking Profile (TPE) | Pick fields to capture per message | Tagged spans, declarative in pipeline YAML |
| BAM Portal | Searchable per-message activity grid | Built-in lineage explorer + custom dashboards |
| BAM Analysis Cube | OLAP-style aggregations | Native metric queries - PromQL-style |
| Tracking DTA | Persisted message history | Audit log with configurable retention |
| Manual SSAS deployment | Months of platform work | None - observability ships with the product |
