IIS module

IIS (Internet Information Services) is a secure, reliable, and scalable Web server that provides an easy to manage platform for developing and hosting Web applications and services.

The iis module will periodically retrieve IIS related metrics using performance counters such as:

• System/Process counters like the the overall server and CPU usage for the IIS Worker Process and memory (currently used and available memory for the IIS Worker Process).
• IIS performance counters like Web Service: Bytes Received/Sec, Web Service: Bytes Sent/Sec, etc, which are helpful to track to identify potential spikes in traffic.
• Web Service Cache counters in order to monitor user mode cache and output cache.

The iis module mericsets are webserver, website and application_pool.
