Internet Information Services Global Counters

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

Use the Internet Information Services Global counters described in Table D.17 through Table D.20 to monitor FTP, SMTP, and NNTP services as a whole. You cannot configure these counters to monitor individual sites. This differs from IIS 5.x, in which global counters monitored the WWW and FTP services.

If the service that you want to monitor (FTP, SMTP, or NNTP) is not installed or is not running, the counters return a zero value.

Table D.17 lists the Async I/O counters that are no longer valid for the Internet Information Services Global performance object. The value of these counters is always zero.

Table D.17 Async I/O Counters

Counter
Measured Async I/O Bandwidth Usage
Total Blocked Async I/O Requests
Total Rejected Async I/O Requests
Current Blocked Async I/O Requests
Measured Async I/O Bandwidth Usage

Table D.18 describes File Cache counters for the Internet Information Services Global performance object.

Table D.18 File Cache Counters

Counter	Description
Current Files Cached	The number of files whose content is currently in the cache.
Total Files Cached	The number of files whose content has been added to the cache since the service started.
File Cache Hits	The number of successful lookups in the file cache.
File Cache Misses	The number of unsuccessful lookups in the file cache.
File Cache Hits %	The ratio of File Cache Hits to the total number of cache requests.
File Cache Flushes	The number of file cache flushes that have occurred since the service started.
Current File Cache Memory Usage	The current number of bytes used for the file cache.
Maximum File Cache Memory Usage	The maximum number of bytes used for the file cache.

Table D.19 describes Flushed and URI Cached counters for the Internet Information Services Global performance object.

Table D.19 Flushed and URI Cached Counters

Counter	Description
Active Flushed Entries	The number of cached file handles that will close when all current transfers are complete.
Total Flushed Files	The number of file handles that have been removed from the cache since the service started.
Current URIs Cached	The number of URI information blocks that are currently in the cache.
Total URIs Cached	The number of URI information blocks that have been added to the cache.
URI Cache Hits	The number of successful lookups in the URI cache.
Uri Cache Misses	The number of unsuccessful lookups in the URI cache.
URI Cache Hits %	The ratio of URI Cache Hits to the total number of cache requests.
URI Cache Flushes	The number of URI cache flushes that have occurred since the server started.
Total Flushed URIs	The number of URI information blocks that have been removed from the cache since the service started.

Table D.20 describes the BLOBs counters for the Internet Information Services Global performance object. A BLOB is a binary large object.

Table D.20 BLOBs Counters

Counter	Description
Current BLOBs Cached	The BLOB information blocks currently in the cache.
Total BLOBs Cached	The number of BLOB information blocks that have been added to the cache.
BLOB Cache Hits	The number of successful lookups in the BLOB cache.
BLOB Cache Misses	The number of unsuccessful lookups in the BLOB cache.
BLOB Cache Hit %	The ratio of BLOB Cache Hits to the total number of cache requests.
BLOB Cache Flushes	The number of BLOB cache flushes that have occurred since the service started.
Total Flushed BLOBs	The number of BLOB information blocks that have been removed from the cache since the service started.
