Resource Profile:
1. Overview of tools
The IISMonitor is a powerfulWeb monitoringand IISautomatic rebootTool designed to help administrators monitor website availability. IISMonitor will automatically restart the IIS server when it detects that a web page is inaccessible and restart the computer if the IIS restart still fails to restore it, thus ensuring that the website returns to normal operation. This tool is especially suitable for coping with IIS fake death or lag phenomenon, and can restore website service through a simple restart operation.
The core features of the tool include:
- Regularly check the availability of web pages.
- Automatically restarts IIS when a web page fails.
- If the IIS restart does not work, the computer is restarted automatically.
- Supports email notifications and allows administrators to keep track of monitoring in real time.
- Supports automatic startup as a Windows service on boot to ensure continuous running in the background.
IISMonitor is a green software, no need to install after download, you can run it directly after unzipping, it is suitable for Windows operating system and needs to run on the IIS server side.
It should be noted that IISMonitor's IIS restart is only a temporary solution, if there is a problem with the system or application, it should be solved completely by in-depth investigation of the root cause.
2. Workflow
The default monitoring and restart process for IISMonitor is as follows:
- Visit the monitored web page every 10 seconds.
- If the web page fails to be accessed twice in a row, the system will restart IIS automatically.
- If the IIS restart does not work, the system will restart the computer automatically.
- The monitoring continues after the computer is restarted. If the web page cannot be restored after two consecutive restarts of the computer, the system terminates the monitoring and sends an e-mail to notify the administrator.
These default settings can be adjusted according to actual needs. The main monitoring parameters include web page URL, monitoring frequency, IIS restart command, computer restart command and trigger conditions.
