Can you please suggest or point me to a place that suggests the best Performance Monitor Counters to monitor on a Web Server running IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003. We have a number of websites on these servers and I would like to start performing more detailed reporting on how these servers are performing. At the moment we are monitoring the basics, such as CPU, Memory, Bandwidth etc, but I am sure there are plenty of specific IIS / ASP.NET counters that could be used.

Thanks!

Here are 2 documents that should be helpful. The first is a general IIS "Suggested Performance Counters to Watch" list that includes baseline ideal values. The second adds some suggested counters for monitoring ASP.Net performance.

  • thanks! but this is not quite what I am after. I would prefer something more specific than just adding "ALL COUNTERS" for the processes hosting the application.
