I am looking for a tool or tools to trace and monitor IIS processes related to websites and web services.
I use IIS Tracer for this work currently but it isn't perfect or comprehensive.
What other tools would help me?
a tool for this is "New Relic" that not only can be used for monitoring web apps in IIS but also used for every web apps based on Ruby, Java, .NET, PHP and Python apps such as Web apps,SQL,..
more info about it is in site: http://newrelic.com

here is a brief what I am trying to achieve.
I am working with an application which is in WordPress and running on Apache and in one of the screen (page) it's require to use any already built module which has a large set of functionality built in .Net, that require an IIS support.
I am running WordPress application on Linux and not sure if Linux provide that flexibility to run both servers Apache and IIS at the same time.
Have gone through with some blogs but nothing yet, not sure even it's possible or not.
Any suggestion would be appreciated...
Not is possible run IIS over linux, you can use kestrel with netCore ,because IIS not is cross plataform, many applications that run "net framework" you can migrate to "net standard" , one option is install "docker windows machine iis" but only run in windows machines
I am new to the world of IIS and I wanted to know the following...
I have heard about IIS Express. I run Windows 7 Ultimate and have installed the IIS that comes packaged with Windows 7.
As a developer, is there any major benefit for me if I install IIS Express over the default IIS that comes with Windows 7 for .Net Web projects?
Here are the differences from http://www.mywindowsclub.com/resources/3302-Key-differences-between-IIS-IIS-Developer.aspx.
If you already have IIS installed - its a better product. IIS express would only be used by people who don't have access to IIS or want something that is lighter than IIS but more like IIS than Cassini.
Integrated with OS
IIS 7 ships with the operating system and is tightly integrated to Windows.
IIS developer express is a separate downloadable tool
Targetted users
IIS 7 is for both developers as well as for production purposes.
IIS developer express can be used only for development purposes and not for production.
Supported Windows editions
IIS 7 will work only on Windows Vista and newer editions of Windows. In case of server OS, IIS 7 will work only on Windows 2008.
IIS developer edition will work even on older version - starting from Windows XP and newer.
Process model and activation
In IIS 7, the worker thread is automatically launched and managed by Windows Process Activation Service.
In case of IIS Express, user has to handle this.
FTP support
IIS developer express does not support FTP while IIS 7 supports it.
WCF support
IIS Developer express supports only WCF over HTTP.
IIS 7 supports WCF including over TCP, Named Pipes, and MSMQ.
Multi developer support
IIS 7 is a single user application.
IIS Developer express supports multi developer environment. Configuration files, settings, and Web content are maintained on a per-user basis.
Visual Studio integration
All editions and versions of Visual Studio have built-in support for IIS 7.
Only VS 2010 and future versions will have built-in support for IIS developer express.
Runtime extensions
IIS developer has support for URL Rewrite and FastCGI.
Webmatrix offers support for SEO, database management and Web Deployment. Other extensions that are offered with IIS are not yet tested with IIS Developer express.
Management Tools
IIS 7 is managed using the IIS Manager.
IIS Developer express can be managed using Webmatrix. Also, the express edition has support through system tray.
Port used by IIS
The default website comes with IIS 7 listens to port 80.
The default website part of IIS developer express listens to port 8080 to avoid conflicts with IIS 7 when they are running side by side.
From Scott Gu's post on IIS Express:
Why Not IIS
The downside with using the IIS option today, though, is that some
companies don’t allow full web-servers to be installed on developer
machines. IIS also requires administrator account access to setup and
debug projects. Different versions of Windows also support different
versions of IIS. For example, if you are running on Windows XP you
have to use the IIS 5.1 web-server that comes with it – which doesn’t
support all the new features of IIS 7.x. Configuring a web project
within VS to use IIS also requires some extra installation and
configuration steps.
Why IIS Express
It’s lightweight and easy to install (less than 10Mb download and a
super quick install) It does not require an administrator account to
run/debug applications from Visual Studio It enables a full web-server
feature set – including SSL, URL Rewrite, Media Support, and all other
IIS 7.x modules It supports and enables the same extensibility model
and web.config file settings that IIS 7.x support It can be installed
side-by-side with the full IIS web server as well as the ASP.NET
Development Server (they do not conflict at all) It works on Windows
XP and higher operating systems – giving you a full IIS 7.x developer
feature-set on all OS platforms IIS Express (like the ASP.NET
Development Server) can be quickly launched to run a site from a
directory on disk. It does not require any registration/configuration
steps. This makes it really easy to launch and run for development
scenarios.
After a couple of hours i found one significant reason to use Express over Local IIS : "Edit and Continue" does not work on local IIS.
I think profiling an application deployed to Azure is not a big deal http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh369930.aspx
I'd like to do the same locally, in the Compute Emulator. It looks like this is currently difficult http://www.pettijohn.com/2011/05/performance-testing-azure-dev-fabric.html at best, at least with the native VisualStudio 2010 profiler.
Am I missing a simple way to do this? Are there any third-party tools that make this fairly easy to do?
I'm using the Azure SDK 1.4 and Azure Tools for Visual Studio 2010 1.3
For later versions of the SDK you can refer to this article in the Windows Azure documentation, where it is explained how to do CPU sampling for both worker roles and web roles: for the latter case, you should attach to the WaIISHost.exe process.
As also indicated in the answer from Marcus Jansson, you may need to attach to the w3wp.exe process. For example, when I'm debugging one of the web sites contained in a web role I need to explicitly attach to the w3wp.exe process that is hosting that site, since Visual Studio does not attach automatically to all relevant IIS instances.
UPDATE 2013-01-10 19:03 UTC I was unable to profile web roles using the linked instructions. I discovered that:
it is useless to attach to WaIISHost.exe, since it seems that it doesn't contain the role code;
I cannot attach to w3wp.exe instances from Visual Studio 2010 (I receive an error message with code VSP1449).
Since I'm using Windows Azure SDK 1.8, I then tried to run my web role under IIS Express (see this post for further details) and then I attached to the iisexpress.exe process. This way I was able to profile my web site.
If you run the web role in IIS, you can just attach to the process w3wp.exe.
I think it depends on what you're trying to profile.
The link you included in your question is for profiling memory for a web role, and yes it looks a little involved.
If you're looking to profile a worker role, it's much easier. You can simply start the worker role through Visual Studio (or using the method mentioned in the post you linked to if you're worried about the effect of the debugger on the profiling) and select Analyze -> Profiler Attach/Detach -> WaWorkerHost. From there it should look just like profiling any other application.
Hey I just wrote a Hello World code for ASP. But it is not compiling using IIS . When I try to access it using localhost/path_to_folder/xyz.asp
It shows the entire code as it is ..
Can anyone tell me whats the problem?)
Do this Step by Step:
Go to control panel
Windows features on/off
Tick this features:
3.a) Internet Information Service>Web management tools>IIS6 Management Compatibility
3.b) Internet Information Service>Web management tools>IIS Management Console
3.c) Internet Information Service>Worldwide web services>Application dev. features>ASP
3.d) Internet Information Service>Worldwide web services>Application dev. features>ISAPI Extentions
These settings are necessary. If still doesnt work, Let me know for further settings.
Classic ASP support isn't installed by default on recent versions of IIS so you'll need to install it via the "Turn Windows features on and off" Control Panel, or with the Web Platform Installer.
Are you accessing via the web server built into Visual Studio? If so, it won't work. That server doesn't support .asp, only .as?x files.
What are the options for consuming web services (hosted for example in Windows Azure) from Windows Embedded Compact 7?
WCF from Compact Framework 3.5 is one possibility, I guess. Are there any others?
Can I access web services directly from my Silverlight (C++) application?
Thank you.
I have not tried this myself, but you could try using SPROXY tool shipped with visual studio.
From MSDN: SPROXY.EXE is a command line tool that generates native C++ client code for accessing an XML Web service based on a WSDL description.
