The Web Service performance object counters (installed with Internet Information Services) monitor file transfer rates, bandwidth usage, connection rates, errors, and numbers and types of users.

You can view performance data for all instances of this object (using the _Total instance) or for specific instances, such as the Default Web Site or Administration Web Site instances.
