Setting Up Reporting in the IIS Management Pack

By default, the IIS Management Pack requires no additional configuration to run reports. However, if you are having difficulty gathering data within the reports, verify that dependent rules are enabled and that the server computers are members of the appropriate computer groups.

Enabling Dependent Rules

To collect the data that is used by reports, you must enable the associated processing rules. In the IIS Management Pack, these are enabled by default. The following table lists the processing rules that must be enabled for each report.
