## Microsoft IIS integration

The IIS integration provides **web server monitoring** for Microsoft IIS, including application pool health.

|                    |                                                                      |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **What it’s for**  | Monitoring web traffic, requests, connections, and application pools |
| **Who uses it**    | Windows administrators, .NET developers, DevOps teams running IIS    |
| **Under the hood** | Uses Windows performance counters alongside the Windows integration  |

## Metrics collected

- **Requests** — Rate, active, queued
- **Connections** — Current, total
- **App pools** — Worker process, memory, CPU
- **Bytes** — Sent, received, total

## Trade-offs

**Best for:** Windows IIS web servers, .NET web applications

| Pros                                             | Cons                                |
|--------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| Pre-built dashboards: IIS overview, app pools    | Windows-only                        |
| Pre-built alerts: request queue, app pool health | Requires performance counter access |
| Works alongside Windows integration              | Limited compared to APM tools       |
