Monitoring Web Servers

How should I go about monitoring health of Web Servers? I know of perfmon..
but any specific counters to look for.

Kristofer, do you have any link handy ? ;)

Please define "health" as it pertains to your web application.

IIS6 already has health-monitoring metrics that allow it to self-
monitor and self-correct, but it applies generically.

IIS6 has no health-monitoring metrics for the health of your
applications running on it -- that is what you need to determine.

Re: Monitoring Web Servers

As David says, you need to define what "healthy" means for your web
applications.

For IIS itself, and for base operating system functionality (disk I/O,
memory usage etc), Microsoft already produces Operations Manager (MOM 2005 /
System Center Operations Manager 2007) Management Packs. These, via rules
that you can tune/override, define a healthy OS and IIS environment:

Re: Monitoring Web Servers

Is MOM free ? Or do I need to purchase a license for it ?

I was basically looking for perfmon monitors to include in my perfmom
monitoring.
