Windows WMI - IIS Web Server Performance Monitoring

Setup and Configuration

To configure and utilize this Opspack, you simply need to add the 'OS - Windows WMI - IIS Agentless' Opspack to your Opsview Monitor system.

Step 1: Add the Host Template

Add the OS - Windows WMI - IIS Server Agentless Host Template to your Opsview Monitor host.

For more information, refer to Opsview Knowledge Center - Adding Host Templates to Hosts.

Step 2: Add and configure variables required for this host

Host Variable	Description
WINCREDENTIALS	Used for authenticating with the remote host. The value is not used and therefore can be set to anything. Override the username and password with the credentials to be used for authentication with the remote host.
WEB_SERVER_INSTANCE_NAME	The name of the web server instance to monitor. The default is set to 'Default Web Site'. Override this with the name of your web server instance name. You can have multiple host variables to check the status of each instance individually.
