How IIS analysis can improve overall monitoring
Blog post from New Relic
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a Microsoft web server platform that generates log files documenting server events, which are crucial for diagnosing issues, optimizing performance, and monitoring security threats. These logs include data such as event timestamps, IP addresses, requested pages, and status codes. Analyzing IIS logs can be challenging due to their complex and voluminous nature, often requiring specialized tools like New Relic's .NET agent for efficient analysis. This tool centralizes log data and provides visualizations and real-time alerts, helping teams quickly detect and resolve issues, thus enhancing system performance and user experience. The New Relic IIS monitoring tool also offers features such as interactive visualizations and Apdex score monitoring to measure user satisfaction with web application response times.
