just finished my first .NET Cloud API application. a cloud instance named WorldAgent that is fired from a web-application which allows other monitoring systems like nagios creating http-calls that end as a pc monitor notification visible in all pc monitor clients

the nagios apps just call http:// {myenterpriseserver/wa/?message=the_message&priority={normal|elevated|critical}&code={auth-code} and the notification is fired. there is no need to wait for the http answer so it can be implemented nearly everywhere. an easy to use API to use and sell the excellent pc monitor clients to clients that already have set up other monitoring systems and do not want to throw them

Congrats on finishing your cloud instance. Does the cloud api meet your requirements? I implemented the cloud api once in a lightswitch enterprise application and it runned smoothly.

cloud api is definitely the key for integration with other monitoring systems or applications. for me it has much more potential than pc monitor plugins. i have not done much .NET development so far and nearly no C# but when i can get productive results on the first day it is a good sign

Truly the real potential of cloud API integration can be easily overlooked. Plugins are mainly targeting every Mobile PC Monitor user while the Cloud API is more for people who want to integrate into their existing solutions, and in three out of four cases the solution is not public and free.

I am glad you found C# easy to work with, it was designed to work with the developer, not with the machine!

Remember to post your cloud integrations to the forms too so we can all see possible uses for it .
