New component: biztalkserverreceiver

[syron]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

The purpose is to be able to create metrics and thereby monitor Microsoft BizTalk Server (A platform for system integrations) by calling its web APIs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/overview/biztalk/?view=rest-biztalk-2020). Those API's can be used to fetch the state of the deployed system integrations.

Important to note is that this is only applicable for biztalk versions BizTalk Server 2016 Feature Pack 1 and later.

Example - Basic Auth

This seems like a great receiver to add - hopefully you can find a sponsor by communicating on slack or a SIG meeting.
