Turning the lights on: how to visualize, monitor and debug an NServiceBus system   Building a distributed message based systems is a challenge, debugging and visualization, monitoring and alerting is an integral part of building such systems. In this presentation we will review the tools available exclusively as part of the Particular Platform when using NServiceBus as the underlying messaging framework. Sean Farmar has been building software for a living in the past 20 years, He is designing and building Systems based on Service Oriented Architecture using NServiceBus   Sean started working with NServiceBus in version 1.6 (1.8 in production) (2008), and is working in Particular Software as a solution architect, in the least while (year and a bit), helping customers succeed with NServiceBus and the particular platform.
