Automated Health Check Report Generation Process for Software Applications using Azure

Azure is a growing collection of integrated cloud services�analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage and web for moving faster. Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure created by Microsoft for building, deploying, and managing applications and services through a global network of datacenters [1]. Application health check is done in software industries to minimize the risk of issues arising in software applications and to ensure that the system is completely utilized to gain the maximum benefit. This is to ensure that software is running properly without any issues and to make sure that all potential issues are proactively identified and remedied, and that application is being used to its fullest potential value [2]. System health check will help in eliminating risk of system failure, advice on system usage, methods of recording recovery and expert recommendations for possible enhancements to avoid issues in the software system applications [2]. In the present investigation, an application module was developed using .Net technologies (C#, SQL Server, Visual Studio and Azure) to automate the process of heath check report generation for software applications and to send the mail to respective recipients along with the health check report. This is the MIS (Management Information System) report which provides information to the Management about health check of the applications, services running and databases of software application system.
