I am trying to get a monitor setup to watch 1 application pool in IIS (2012 R2). I just need to monitor up/down. I can monitor IIS services/sites, but I'm not sure how to get to the application pool. Any suggestions?
This thread should point you firmly in the right direction.
Application Pool monitoring
As aLTeReGo has said in other threads, if you have AppInsight for IIS, then you can do it easily - but that's more of an all-or-nothing affair.
Thank you, that's what I was looking for. Can an alert be configured for this component monitor? I started playing around with it, but haven't figured it out yet.
Absolutely it can. What I do is create a copy of the alert 'Alert me when a component goes down' and put conditional statements in it to point at the node/component in question. Works well.
I see it. Thank you.
