Applications Manager

Management of IIS Made Easy

Applications Manager provides in-depth availability and performance monitoring of IIS Servers. Applications Manager connects to the IIS server and checks for the availability and response time at regular intervals of time.

The IIS Management feature helps optimize IIS server performance and also provides comprehensive management reports. It ensures availability through automated event escalation via email, SMS etc. and helps taking corrective action by executing user scripts that can help, restart a service etc.

The components that are monitored in IIS Server:

Availability	Checks for the availability of IIS Server
Response Time	Gives the response time of the IIS Server
Website Stats	If the host in which IIS server is running, is monitored in WMI mode, the website stats can also be monitored. Attributes monitored: Bytes Transferred: Bytes Sent Per Second, Bytes Received per Second, Bytes Total Per Second Files Transferred: Files Sent Per sec, Files Received Per sec, Files Transferred Per Sec Connection Statistics: Current Connections Anonymous Users: Current Annonymous Users, Anonymous Users per Second Non Anonymous Users: Current NonAnonymous Users, Non Anonymous Users per Second
