Settings can be set on two places. The first is the global settings of the notification channel, settings specified here will be used by all alarms using the notification channel. The second is the alarm settings, these will be used only by the specific alarm, and can be different on each alarm where the notification channel is used. For this we have to create two xml files, GlobalProperties.xml and AlarmProperties.xml.
Next we will have to create the class where we implement our notification channel, which will implement the IChannelNotification interface, which can be found in B360.Notifier.Common. In case we use any custom DLL's, we also have to put these in the GAC, or our notification channel will not work. In this class we will add the SendNotification method, which receives the alarm and environment properties from BizTalk360.
Once we have created our custom notification channel we can install it into BizTalk360. Open the settings in BizTalk360 go to Monitoring and Notification and choose Manage Notification Channels. Create a new notification and set the name, optionally add a Logo, and choose the DLL of the solution we just created.
BizTalk360 is a great tool for monitoring and administrating BizTalk, but sometimes there is a need from operations for a single view for all applications in the company, which we now can easily integrate with.

Another important place to find an extensive amount of BizTalk related articles is the TechNet Wiki itself. The best entry point is BizTalk Server Resources on the TechNet Wiki.
