"Route to Server Farm" missing in IIS after installing ARR 3.0 - iis

I am trying to configure IIS for a zero-downtime deployment per this blog (green/blue app deployments). I have setup Application Request Routing (3.0) and URL Rewrite, but after setting up the websites and server farm, I see no "Route to Server Farm" option in the Rewrite rules.
This is what I was expecting to find due to the instructions.
I have completed the following steps on IIS 10 (Windows 10) and IIS 8.5 (Server 2012 R2):
Installed Application Request Routing 3.0 (i have also tried with 2.5 unsuccessfully)
Setup 2 different IIS sites for my prod (green) and stage (blue) deployments, and confirmed they are working when directly accessing
Created web farm in IIS and added 2 servers
When I was trying to setup the URL Rewrite, I expected to see the "Route to Server Farm" action type, but I see only these options:

The issue was I was trying to add a URL Rewrite rule on the site level instead of server level.

Enabling OMS Agent monitoring on aks machines

we are looking for a solution to setup the alert when OMS agent stopped on AKS
machines, through azure monitor, however we could not find any query or solution which
can monitor the oms agent process on VMs and generate the alert when it is stopped.
Thanks in advance for any leads.
I Tried to reproduce the same in my environment to redirect the IIS app to Offline Page during application Maintenance :
I have created IIS Web Application in Windows Server with HTTP Redirection as below.
Once the IIS Setup has been completed, deploy the application code to IIS Server.
The application is running successfully.
Now add an HTTP redirect rule to IIS Server which will redirect user requests to the maintenance page as shown below.
Open HTTP Redirect option and add your maintenance page address.
Make sure to enable "Redirect all requests to exact destination".
After adding the HTTP redirect rule in IIS Web Server, whenever users hit the application. it will redirect the requests to the maintenance page automatically.

.NET Website hosted on Azure Windows VM - IIS Web Server fails to work after Server (VM) restart

Hosted a .NET 6 basic Web App in IIS Web Server inside the Azure Virtual Machine (Windows 2016 Data Center)
Commands:
dotnet new webapp
dotnet run
dotnet publish -c Release
3rd command is used for placing release folder files in the Site Physical Path created in IIS Web Server:
It shown the result as welcome page. After VM Stop and Start action, it is showing the localhost as "The Site can't be reached"
If I create new site on Connections of the IIS Manager, then it is working.
Every time after restarting the VM, Creating New Site is not the solution.
Why previously created Site is showing me "The Site can't be reached" error.
What I have tried:
Tested by creating new Site in Connections of the IIS Manager, it worked for the new site but after restarting the VM, it also stopped working and showing above mentioned error.
Checked VM Status, it is Healthy
All required tools are installed in the VM (VS Code, .NET 6 SDK, Runtime, and Hosting Bundle)
Note: It is working successfully after I clear the cache in the browser after server restart (stop and start) but why I have to clear the browser cache every time after VM stop and start?
Update:
Forgot to mention this:
I have given HTTPS binding to the IIS Manager Website Hosted so if do localhost with port 80, it will shows IIS Web Served Home Page and localhost with Https (443), it will show the hosted website content.
After Server Stop and Start, localhost with port 80 gives the IIS Web Served Home Page and localhost with Https is not giving the website content, here it is giving error "The site is not reached".
Fix:
I have found the fix to this issue which is:
Hosting works with particular time period.
Every time when you launch the Website hosted in VM through IIS Web Server after Server restart (several hours), you need to re-host or create new site in IIS Manager Pool.
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and I got the results like below:
I have created sample website and when I tried Stop and Start action, localhost reached successfully:
As suggested by samwu you can check event viewer like below:
In start -> select event viewer -> click Windows Logs node
Select application Event Log and Search for errors associated with the failing app like below
You can make use of Debug Diagnostics tool.

How to configure Application Request Routing in IIS 7.0 for 2 applications running different iis servers using path based routing in iis arr

I need path based routing in iis arr where i can create target group to assign different iis servers for web farm architecture. Which is provided by AWS Application Load Balancer.
For Example:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-advanced-request-routing-for-aws-application-load-balancers/
I have to provide this kind of routing on my local machine using windows server IIS ARR(Application Request Routing)
Hey I need to configure this using target group which is provided by AWS ALB there is an option to set an instance in the target group for example:
I need this to be done on my local IIS machine using some third-party software.
I need something like this for my local IIS server.
As far as I know, if you want your ARR to achieve redirecting the request to the web farm according to special rule condition like http_cookie, http_host.
You could open the url rewrite rule in the IIS manamgent console and add some condition lik below image shows:
With lots of R&D, I found the answer that while crating multiple farms we can archive this
in my scenario I want to redirect my call to a specific IP but when I am using IP address the issue is due to IP so I create Farm for each IP and redirect my call to those farm due to that my issue of IP get solved so now I don't need to configure IP address to my web config file in my project.

Issue in accesing a website hosting on weblogic server through IIS

We are facing issue while configuring IIS setup for weblogic servers.
Following are the environment details:
IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 standard 64x, wls_plugin_12.2.1.2.0 for weblogic server.
We have done the following steps:
Created a new web site on IIS.
Enabling the authentication settings.
Enabling the Directory browsing.
Added the script mapping in Handler mapping and set the path of iisproxy.dll as executor.
ISAPI filter setting for the iisproxy.dll
We are able to view the directory structure while accessing the IP and Port, but the request is not redirecting to the weblogic ip and port what we have configured in iisproxy.ini.
Is there any web.config or handler settings required to process the request?
The issue is that we are using wls-Plugin12.2.1.2.0 whose iisproxy.dll is not working in IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 server. After using the lower version of the plugin, able to access the web logic instance through proxy the IIS.
After that we are able to view the login page of web logic instance but not able to login to the application as it through s "404 Not found error". For this we have to change the handler mapping settings --> Request restrictions --> Mapping --> uncheck the invoke handle, restart the iis application and try browsing again. You will be able to login to web logic applications.

MSDeploy remote permissions needed for Windows 2003 Server / IIS 6

What are the permissions needed for running delegated deployments, using MSDeploy, targeting a Windows 2003 Server / IIS 6.0 ?
EDIT: this is a duplicate of ... How to allow non-admin user to deploy web applications on IIS 6 using web deploy
IIS6 can't be published to directly via Web Deploy, so you will need to use Web Deployment Agent. Once you have setup the agent, the endpoint address should look something like this:
http://myserver/MsDeployAgentService
Note this is not an HTTPS address and does not explicitly specify a port. Also, the account publishing to this endpoint must have admin rights on the server (nasty, but necessary). Finally, make sure the "Web Deployment Agent Service" is actually running because it's not set to start automatically by default.
