Question by Renato P. · Nov 11, 2015 at 12:58 PM · configuration dashboard agent web performance monitoring dotnet iis

Is it possible to get Windows Custom Measures from Web Server Agent?

Hello,

We want to know the current connections on our IIS web server using the Windows Custom Measures.

I have set up and configure it a measure, but it brings values from .NET app Pools, and not from the web server itself.

Is it possible to get information regarding the IIS Web SErver Current Connections?

UPDATE: After digging up a bit I could find the correct counters from perfom and assign them to a custom measure.

If you want to see users connected into your IIS for example, you will use the "Current Connections" counter from Web Service. And then pick the _Total instance:

And in other case; If you want to see Users connected into your .NET application, you would use "Sessions Active" counter from the ASP.NET Apps vx.x.xxxx, selecting the __Total__ (yes, 2 underscores) instance:

And then here it is the result; A dashboard where you can see all users connected into the servers. Also it is possible to visualize how distributed the users are per host server of your datacenter (web Server (above) and App Server (bellow)):

Hi

I have just tried this the agent route (so not via monitors) and it does pull out the correct counter for me.

I have 2 .net agents and no web server agent on my machine and the value matches what I see on the windows performance monitor tool.

Regards

Flo

Hi Florent,

It does pull measures from .NET agents and the custom measure I have configured gets the information of the .NET application pools.

But we would like to see that measure related to the IIS itself.

Hi.

Please have a look into our Windows Performance Monitor: https://community.dynatrace.com/community/display/...

That monitor can pull in any type of windows metrics. The Monitor executes on the Collector. Make sure that the Collector runs on a windows box and under a windows user account that has privileges to query windows performance counters on that remote machine. Good thing with that approach is that you have a centralized way to capture ANY type of windows performance metrics from MANY windows machines

Hi Andy,

we did not try using the collector because we have agents installed (.NET and WS) and we thought that would be the shortest path to the goal we have.

Also Collector user has no permission to fecht those that.
