We have gone with our first integration deployment into production with NServiceBus. ServiceInsight and ServicePulse are very handy, especially ServiceInsight - it is very helpful to understand things during go-live activities, even though it is sluggish.
I would like to see if there are any easy ways to pull information from ServiceControl into Excel to come up with basic analytics such as volume of messages/events we process, messages/event that takes more time, failed messages, busy endpoints, peak period etc.
Has anyone done this or is there something available already or any recommended ways to do this?
Take a look here: http://code972.com/blog/2015/02/83-real-time-analytics-for-nservicebus-powered-systems-using-elasticsearch
I used Elasticsearch + Kibana to provide real-time analytics for the NServiceBus platform.
You can also export the data directly from ServiceControl's RavenDB instance into CSV and then Excel - but that's indeed a lot less pretty.
