Monitoring Applications That Use the IIS 6.0 WWW Service

Updated: August 22, 2005

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

Monitor the counters in Table 6.24 to determine how the WWW service is processing ISAPI, CGI, POST, and GET requests.

Table 6.24 Counters That Provide Data About WWW Service Applications

Object\Counter Value

Web Service\ISAPI Extension Requests/sec

Web Service\CGI Requests/sec 

The rates at which the server is processing ISAPI and CGI application requests. If these values decrease due to increasing loads, you might need to redesign the applications.

Note: ASP is an ISAPI extension; therefore ASP requests are included in the first counter.

Web Service\Get Requests/sec

Web Service\Post Requests/sec

The rate at which these two common HTTP request types are made to the server. POST requests are generally used for forms and are sent to ISAPIs (including ASP) or CGIs. GET requests make up almost all other requests from browsers and include requests for static files, ASPs and other ISAPIs, and CGI requests.
