Messaging Farm Analyzer (for Workflow Manager and Service Bus Server)

Messaging Farm Analyzer (MFA) is a tool that gathers information about a Workflow Manager (WFM) and Service Bus Server farm and raises different levels of warnings when issues are detected.
Reports generated by this application can be used to help troubleshoot issues occurring with a WFM/SB farm.

Some of the information that is collected by this tool:
• The full topology of the farm (discovery of nodes + SQL Server)
• WFM & SB configuration (certificate list, ports, endpoints, user account, etc.)
• WFM & SB status (service states)
• SB Runtime Settings
• SB Client config
• Versions/CUs installed on all nodes
• All WFM/SB Admin and Operation logs
• System and Application event logs
• SQL WFM/SB Database table sizes

There are two ways to generate an MFA report. The GUI MFA application allows the user to easily select the queries which will be executed. The Console MFA application simplifies report generation by executing a default set of queries.

To run the GUI MFA application:
1. Go to the location where the tool was extracted and run MFA.exe
2. The Settings and Queries tab can be modified if needed. No changes are required for a default capture.
3. Click on the Start button.
4. When it completes, the output folder, MFA_[DATETIME], can be zipped up to be sent to Microsoft.

To run the Console MFA application:
1. Open the command prompt window (run as Administrator).
2. CD to the location where the tool was extracted and run MFAConsole.exe
3. When it completes, the output folder, MFA_[DATETIME], can be zipped up to be sent to Microsoft.
