Applications and services may sometimes emit sensitive and confidential monitoring related data, including but not limited to PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Considering the nature of the data, this calls for securing all the avenues involved in the whole workflow of capturing and storing monitoring related information in Windows Server AppFabric.
To understand what needs to be secured we need to understand the architecture of Windows Server AppFabric's monitoring subsystem. The following diagram provides a high-level overview of how the Windows Server AppFabric captures and stores monitoring information. Highlighted areas show the components and the subsystems that enable Windows Server AppFabric's monitoring capabilities.
In this recipe, we will focus on securing two important parts of the monitoring subsystem of Windows Server AppFabric:
Using isolated instances of the monitoring database/store
Controlling the amount of...
