Microsoft IIS Monitoring Tools

Microsoft IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services) is a popular web and file server. IIS was created for use with the Windows NT family and was formerly known as ‘Internet Information Server’. Microsoft IIS is available to be used on all versions of Windows Server. The flexibility ensures that anything from media streaming to web applications can be handled within IIS’s scalable architecture, meaning it is well suited to even the most demanding of tasks.
