IIS web server monitoring can quickly & easily be performed using the Sentry-go
Quick IIS Web Server Monitor. With it, you can monitor your IIS Web Server
environment, perform web site monitoring as well as availability monitoring. In
addition to the underlying server, this web site monitoring software contains
many other features including HTML content & ASP monitoring, web site
availability & web page availability, FTP site monitoring & file availability,
internet service (ports) access, and entries written to IIS log file & local
Event Logs. If problems are detected, it can either take automatic action, or
alert you before end-users are affected. Using it's in-built web-based
reporting, you also have immediate access to monitored information direct from
your web browser.

Monitoring Features |
-
Monitor key services
Web service monitoring allows you to monitor key Windows, IIS & web related
services running on the local server with ease. In addition, custom services can
also be added, monitored & automatically restarted.
-
Ensure web site & web-page access is available
The web site monitor allows you to monitor the availability of key web pages on
your server, checking that the correct page is delivered and returned in a
timely manner. In effect, it acts like an automated web browser.
-
Ensure FTP site & remote file access is available
In the same way that the above check verifies web pages, the FTP server monitor
automates an FTP client, allowing you to check that FTP access & operations are
available in a timely manner.
-
Check TCP/IP Ports are available
The internet port monitor allows you to ensure that key or custom TCP/IP ports
are listening for requests on the server - e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, FTP access etc.
-
Verify IIS, ASP & Web Service
Performance
Performance Monitor your IIS Web server
performance and ensure key performance parameters are within expected limits -
e.g. no. ASP requests & sessions, ASP wait time, web connections, script errors,
not found errors etc. Custom performance counters can also be added and
monitored.
-
Monitor errors written to the Windows Event Log
Sentry-go allows you to monitor messages written to the Windows Event Logs based
on error type, event ID, source or keywords & phrases within the text.
-
Monitor messages written to the IIS Log File
This option allows you to monitor the primary IIS log file - which can be used
to track page & file delivery, as well as HTTP errors returned in response to
client requests - highlighting broken links etc. Other custom log files can also
be monitored.
-
Monitor messages written to custom log files
In addition to Event Logs, you can also monitor the entries written to
text-based log files such as those used for custom applications, based on
keywords or phrases within the text.
-
Ensure sufficient disk space is available
To run efficiently, your Windows & Exchange server needs adequate free disk
space. Sentry-go can check this for you, clearing down temporary files
automatically if free space becomes limited.
