Monitoring Applications pool in IIS

[נחום אליאש‎]

hi there experts,

I wonder how can i monitor the web application i have on my IIS server.?

for example, if one of the application stop reposinding, and generate a
specific evenr error, i want the IIS server to stop and start the specific
application pool, and not to reset all the IIS server from the CMD command.

how can i make this happend.

p.s.
I know that i can generate a respone whenever i have a specific error
message in my IIS server, but this time the issue is resetting the
application pool alone.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Best regards,
Nahum

Hello נחום,

Do you know a way to restart the specific application pool from outside of
Ops MGr?
Then you should be enable to add that command as a recovery to the monitor
generating the alert saying the application stop.

Hi andreas,

Unforunatlly, i don't have a way to reset the application pool.
btw, what did you mean by asaying "out side the opsmgr"?

I talked to a freind of mine. he told me that it may be possible but i'll
need to use WMI script that always monitors the web appliacation.

What do you think?

Hello נחום,

With outside I mean somewhere outside of Ops Mgr. Like a command or script.
If you find a way, with a script for example, then you can let ops mgr to
run it.

Hi Andreas,

If i knew where to find, or how to write this kind of script i wouldn't be
here... :)

It's not so urgnet' so i guess that for now, i'll keep my ops dealing with
urgent things i need to take care of and study.

Have a nice day.

Hello Nahum,

What I mean is that Ops Mgr can do it if you can do it manually. But Ops
Mgr dont provide any new secrets way to do tasks. When you have a script,
then you can implement it into ops mgr as a recovery task.

Not sure, if you have got any answer.

In vbs, this is the statement which i use for resetting an AppPool:

~~~~
WshShell.Run("iisapp.vbs /a " & appPoolName & " /r", 1, true)
~~~~

If you have Admin Scripts installed for IIS, you can also use:

Cscript.exe adsutil.vbs START_SERVER W3SVC/[ your app pool id here]

by default, adsutil.vbs is in C:\inetpub\Adminscripts

Thanks
