When configuring the IIS agent to monitor a Web site, you can monitor associated application pools in the following ways:
Configure a single resource to monitor both, the Web site and the associated application pools. In this case you define options to monitor associated application pools within the same resource.
Configure separate resources to monitor IIS site and associated application pools. In this case you configure a resource to monitor the IIS site only and configure additional resources to monitor specific application pools.
VCS provides several ways to configure the agent, including the configuration wizard, Cluster Manager (Java console), and the command line. This section provides instructions on how to use the wizard to configure monitoring for IIS.
To configure the VCS IIS agent on Windows Server Core, first install IIS on Windows Server Core systems in the order specified. Then, manually add the required resources and configure the service group. You can perform the manual configuration steps either directly on the Server Core machine using VCS commands from the command line, or remotely using the Cluster Manager (Java console).
If UAC is enabled, run the program or commands in the "Run as administrator" mode even if the logged-on user belongs to the local administrators group. Alternatively, log on as an Administrator (default administrator account) to perform the tasks.
Review the IIS agent's resource type definition and attribute descriptions in the Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide. Also, review the sample configurations and resource dependency graphs.
