Report on cause of process failure or shutdown
Hi, is it possible to find out why a process i.e. IIS w3wp.exe failed / shut down or what caused it, apart from expected application pool recycling? We'd like to find out if a failure / shutdown is caused by
- a specific user request to the process in question
- another process that called it perhaps
- expected appl pool recycling
Hi
Thats going to be a bit tricky. You might be lucky if you see a severe .NET Exception that could cause a restart of the App Pool. So - I would watch out for these. Anything else is probably triggered by some external event, e.g: scheduled recycle, .. For these cases I would assume that you will see a Windows Event Log
