# Microsoft IIS integration

The IIS integration provides **web server monitoring** for Microsoft IIS, including application pool health. Worker process failures are a key warning sign, since a failing pool takes its apps down with it.

| **What it’s for**  | Monitoring web traffic, requests, connections, and application pools    |
| **Under the hood** | Uses Windows performance counters (the windows\_exporter IIS collector) |

## Metrics collected

The integration collects web traffic and application pool metrics:

- **Requests**: Rate, worker requests
- **Connections**: Current, total
- **App pools**: Worker process count, failures, threads
- **Bytes**: Sent, received, total

## What to know

This integration offers:

- Prebuilt dashboards: IIS overview, applications, logs
- Prebuilt alerts: 5xx errors, worker process failures, thread pool utilization
- The Windows integration covers the host. This integration covers IIS.
