AppFabric auto-configuration of monitoring

Question

Hi,

I would like to write some scripts (best PowerShell scripts), which allow me auto-configure monitoing in AppFabric. I mean: user types connection string, security configuration and script will initialize and registre an AppFabric monitoring store.

I ask about because I have similar scripts, which install IIS and now I need to have the same for AppFabric. I've searched for some information but I couldn't find any interesting article/blog/forum thread, which can help me.

Is it possible at all?

Thank you in advance

Hi ArthurZ,

Thank your for your answer, but it seems that Local Installation of Windows Server AppFabric post also doesn't resolve my problem, because in this description of installation author also uses default AppFabric Installation UI. I need to have "no touch" script, which allows set all options in command line and then will install AppFabric (it's simple) and set monitoring configuration.

The AppFabric PowerShell documentation is a little spread out but it is out there. This article is helpful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff637739.aspx. It shows near the bottom how to register the monitoring database with the Set-ASAppMonitoring cmdlet. This article also gives a link to "Automated Installation" for AppFabric.

Most of the rest of the AppFabric PowerShell cmdlet examples are linked under http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee677336.aspx. You drill into the table of contents subtopics and eventually get to the cmdlet examples.

Thanks,
