Invoke-IcingaCheckIISAppPoolHealth

Description

This plugin will check the health and resource usage of IIS Application Pools.

This function checks the health of IIS Application Pools by evaluating their status, CPU usage, memory usage, and worker process status. It generates a check package with detailed information and performance data for each application pool.

Permissions

To execute this plugin you will require to grant the following user permissions.

WMI Permissions

  • Root\WebAdministration
  • Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process

Arguments

Argument Type Required Default Description
CPUWarning Object false The CPU usage percentage that triggers a warning state.
CPUCritical Object false The CPU usage percentage that triggers a critical state.
MemoryWarning Object false The memory usage that triggers a warning state. Supports the % to compare the current
memory usage against a configured limit of the AppPool.
MemoryCritical Object false The memory usage that triggers a critical state. Supports the % to compare the current
memory usage against a configured limit of the AppPool.
ThreadCountWarning Object false The thread count that triggers a warning state for the AppPools
ThreadCountCritical Object false The thread count that triggers a critical state for the AppPools
PageFileWarning Object false The page file usage that triggers a warning state for the AppPools
PageFileCritical Object false The page file usage that triggers a critical state for the AppPools
IncludeAppPools Array false @() An array of application pool names to include in the check.
ExcludeAppPools Array false @() An array of application pool names to exclude from the check.
OverrideNoWorker String false Critical The state to set if no worker process is found for an application pool. Valid values are ‘Ok’, ‘Warning’, ‘Critical’, ‘Unknown’. Default is ‘Critical’.
Verbosity Int32 false 0 Changes the behavior of the plugin output which check states are printed:
0 (default): Only service checks/packages with state not OK will be printed
1: Only services with not OK will be printed including OK checks of affected check packages including Package config
2: Everything will be printed regardless of the check state
3: Identical to Verbose 2, but prints in addition the check package configuration e.g (All must be [OK])
NoPerfData SwitchParameter false False Disables the performance data output of this plugin
ThresholdInterval String Change the value your defined threshold checks against from the current value to a collected time threshold of the Icinga for Windows daemon, as described here. An example for this argument would be 1m or 15m which will use the average of 1m or 15m for monitoring.
