Application Pool monitoring.

[claker1]

Good afternoon,

Can Hostmon monitor Application Pools within IIS for an up/down status?

Thanks,
Chris

HostMonitor doesn't have special test methods for IIS monitoring.
However, IIS provides WMI interface for application pool monitoring.
You may try to use "WMI" test method to check IIS Application pools state.

E.g. you may use WMI test method with query like the following:
select AppPoolState from IIsApplicationPoolSetting WHERE Name="W3SVC/AppPools/MSExchangeOWAAppPool"

AppPoolState may return one of the following 4 states:
1 - The application pool is starting
2 - The application pool has started
3 - The application pool is stopping
4 - The application pool has stopped

Please note: "Root\MicrosoftIISv2" WMI name space should be used for WMI query, specified above.
