Exoprise recently added support for monitoring OneDrive and SharePoint using OAuth credentials in addition to full experience monitoring via headless browsers. Now, with full support for OAuth and the Microsoft Graph API, you can choose whether you want to monitor the real browser-based experience and performance or if you don’t want to share credentials and just want to monitor via the Graph API.

Both types of monitoring, API and browser-based, are valuable and provide advance warning of network and Office 365 tenancy problems even before Microsoft knows itself. Utilizing the Microsoft Graph API, sensors can run more quickly. Monitoring via a real browser experience can tell you, end-to-end, whether all of your infrastructure, Single Sign-On and proxies included, are operating well.

Exoprise CloudReady is the only solution that provides both types of monitoring and makes it seamless to set up within the same platform. Easily monitor from behind the firewall or from public clouds.

API Monitoring for SaaS Services

The Exoprise CloudReady SharePoint and OneDrive API sensors run as frequently as once a minute to test both Microsoft’s infrastructure as well as your own network dependencies. Monitoring these services via OAuth to ensure, for example, that OneDrive sync is operating well for your tenant and users is important.

Azure AD (AAD) is the cornerstone for Office 365, Single Sign-On (SSO), delegation and permissions throughout your organization. Regardless of whether you are using a different SSO solution like Okta, Ping or ADFS. Testing OAuth token and refresh access and Azure AD application performance is critical because there is a growing dependency on OAuth for access, integration, and workflow. In many cases, the same APIs that SharePoint environment are built with, utilize the same web services and APIs that are being monitored.
