Web Service Object
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
The Web Service performance object counters (installed with Internet Information Services) monitor file transfer rates, bandwidth usage, connection rates, errors, and numbers and types of users.
You can view performance data for all instances of this object (using the _Total instance) or for specific instances, such as the Default Web Site or Administration Web Site instances.
