Zabbix and IIS pool monitoring

[emailua]

Hello Zabbix guru,
Could you please give some advices about subj.
I need to monitor multiple distributed IIS worker processes and their mem\cpu\disk usage.
As I know IIS command appcmd list wp return all runnig workers with their current PID's.
How do you think what is the best way to organize full monitoring of all IIS workers?

Up.
As I understand I need to use external script with zabbix_sender which allow to send multiple values to zabbix trapper.

Maybe somebody already solved such task?

You may also use the build-in perf_conter funtion:
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...fic_parameters
or
Userparameters in local agent config file.

Ok, but as I know each IIS process have the same name - w3wp.exe
Command "appcmd list wp" show all workers with their pid's.
So how I can get cpu and mem usage for specified worker?
Does such perf counter (PID CPU usage, mem PID usage) exist?

I can only advise you how to send/poll the information to/from zabbix server.

Re. perfconter you have to check that with your perfmonitor on your IIS hosts.

If that do not give you enough info, you have to get it from commands or homemade scripts.
You can then transfere that infomation to the zabbix server with userparameters (most simple solution) or zabbix_send.

Tnx for the info.
I will post complete solution when I find It.
As i see a lot of questions about IIS\distributed IIS workers monitoring posted around the web. And no one is fully answered
Update:
As I anderstand there is no simple way to get IIS workers counters?
At this moment Zabbix Agent does not support WMI, this functionality planned:

https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-836

And also - no information about x64 support.
When such support will be released we can got a lot of information without problems.
I think at present moment such problem can be solved by custom external script - powershell + WMI (Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process) and than processing output data to zabbix server with zabbix sender.

Please correct me if i'm wrong - my experience with zabbix is about one week.

Btw - you may check Cacti og even Nagios forums for good scripts. I use to steal from there if I cannot find something usefull here

Tnx a lot!
I think it's a very good idea
Will try to find something.

And one more assumption:

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21524

User parameter + wmic.

Update -
I've found a solution to get perf counters from specific IIS workers.
There is a special WMI class - Win32_PerfFormattedData_WASW3WPCounterProvider_WAS W3WP
it's better then just
Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process

You can complete this monitoring IIS?

I'm going through the same problem and so far nothing satisfactory.

I'm trying to use the new Zabbix 2.1.6 ALPHA, but so far without much success.

I accept suggestions.

I ended up using this solution:

https://github.com/vavere/zabbix-w3wp

Works fine on zabbix 2.0.5.

Hello all,
does anyone solved this kind of monitoring problems?
I should monitor on some IIS 6 servers the application pools in order to know the performances and the restart of each one (getting the allert by email with the application pool name that having trouble).

I have a Zabbix 2.2.2 with client agent Zabbix 2.2.0 (revision 40147)...could somebody help me to achieve this goal?

I used the solution mentioned above (hips://github.com/vavere/zabbix-w3wp) and it's work fine but I'm not able to set the trigger by email every time an application pool reboot with the details of the rebooted application pool...

Many thanks in advance
Dario

Hi emailua,

I know this post is quite old, I hope you can see my comment and be able to share the actual solution that you used. I am new with Zabbix and with very little programming skills.
