Skype For Business - Monitor Infrastructure

May be an easy one for you guys.

 

I'm looking for best practice, and advice on monitoring our Skype Infrastructure.  We have SFB 2016 on premise.  At the moment other than monitoring the topology via the control panel I am unsure as the best way to manage the infrastrucutre.  It tends to be more of a reactive environment rather than pro-active.  Usually an issue will be reported via our helpdesk which will alert ourselves to a problem.

Can you reccomend the best way to monitor :

Servers within the environment

Services that need to be monitored. (What services)

SIP etc

 

Would we be best buying a monitoring tool? 

Would we be best carrying out an hour a week to carry out manual checks?  (hopefully this isn't the case).

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Were you successful at setting up monitoring for Skype on-prem?

     

    We are using an OOTB solution from Micro Focus. Most of the metrics that need to be monitored are in perfmon and could be monitored by many different tools.

     

    Since there are hundreds of perfmon metrics the challenge can be determining which are relevant for a specific implementation for thresholding and dashboarding. That has been my challenge anyway. Still working through it.
