monitor WEB Farm

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone please help.

We are recently purchased SCOM and need to monitor our new WEB farm from fresh, Can you please suggest ( if you have in your environment) what to monitor in a IIS/WEB farm environment.

Our sites hosted are hosted internal and some of them hosted in DMZ . Does anyone please tell me what is the best way to automate / monitor the IIS/WEB farm?

Regards

Dan McFadden

Monitoring of IIS is driven thru the IIS Management Pack, which you can install on a SCOM Management Server. I'll assume you are using Server 2012 and SCOM 2012. Here is the MP link:

A question: What product(s) are you using to manage interaction between your users and your web farm? Is there a hardware load balancer in front of the farm or you using something software based like IIS's Application Request Routing?

Thanks Dan,

Yes 2012 but I don't look after it at all. All I would like to know is what to monitor..

We have hardware load balancers and also ARRs.
