<![CDATA[Monitor IIS on WIndows Server]]>Hi, does anyone know how I can use NetXMS to monitor the status of items within IIS?  For example I want to monitor if application pools are stopped or started and alert if they are stopped for a few minutes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Damien

you can use instance discovery to create same counters for each pool. You should be able to use agent list

PDH.ObjectInstances(ASP.NET Apps v2.0.50727)

Best regards,

If you ever want a template for "any IIS" with "any AppPool", which you can automatically apply to all Window Servers running IIS, you will need some kind of instance discovery/list to take care of providing a list of AppPools to NetXMS though (but at least you won't need PowerShell to return the status itself).

I added a new DCI and changed the origin for DCI to be 'Windows Performance Counters' opposed to NetXMS agent.

From here I was then able to select parameter app_pool_was\current application pool state.

Thanks

Damien

  • Setting up an ExternalList in the NetXMS agent to return the names of all AppPools
  • Writing a PowerShell script to return AppPool status for a given AppPool
  • Configuring the NetXMS agent with an ExternalParameter to call that script, accepting the AppPool name as a parameter
  • Configuring your DCI in NetXMS to use instance discovery using the ExternalList and ExternalParameter you created.
