Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to derive from the WebFailureAuditEvent class to create a custom audit event.

using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Management;

{
    // Implements a custom WebFailureAuditEvent class. 
    public class SampleWebFailureAuditEvent : 
        System.Web.Management.WebFailureAuditEvent
    {
        private string customCreatedMsg, customRaisedMsg;

        // Invoked in case of events identified only by their event code.
        public SampleWebFailureAuditEvent(string msg, object eventSource,
            int eventCode):
        base(msg, eventSource, eventCode)
        {
            // Perform custom initialization.
            customCreatedMsg =
                string.Format("Event created at: {0}",
                DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString());
        }

        // Invoked in case of events identified by their event code and 
        // event detailed code.
        public SampleWebFailureAuditEvent(string msg, object eventSource,
            int eventCode, int detailedCode):
        base(msg, eventSource, eventCode, detailedCode)
        {
            // Perform custom initialization.
            customCreatedMsg =
            string.Format("Event created at: {0}",
                DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString());
        }

                string.Format("Event raised at: {0}", 
                DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString());

            // Raise the event.
            WebBaseEvent.Raise(this);
        }

            return RequestInformation;
        }

        //Formats Web request event information.
        //This method is invoked indirectly by the provider 
        //using one of the overloaded ToString methods.
        public override void FormatCustomEventDetails(WebEventFormatter formatter)
        {
            base.FormatCustomEventDetails(formatter);

            // Add custom data.
            formatter.AppendLine("");

            formatter.IndentationLevel += 1;
            formatter.AppendLine(
                "******** SampleWebFailureAuditEvent Start ********");
            formatter.AppendLine(string.Format("Request path: {0}",
                RequestInformation.RequestPath));
            formatter.AppendLine(string.Format("Request Url: {0}",
                RequestInformation.RequestUrl));

            // Display custom event timing.
            formatter.AppendLine(customCreatedMsg);
            formatter.AppendLine(customRaisedMsg);

            formatter.AppendLine(
                "******** SampleWebFailureAuditEvent End ********");

Remarks

ASP.NET health monitoring allows production and operations staff to manage deployed Web applications. The System.Web.Management namespace contains the health event types responsible for packaging application health-status data and the provider types responsible for processing this data. It also contains supporting types that help during the management of health events.

The WebFailureAuditEvent class is used when a security operation fails. An example of this is a failed URL authorization for a Web request.

By default, ASP.NET is configured to raise the WebFailureAuditEvent event for the following features:

File authorization. ASP.NET attempts file authorization only when a Windows Identity is associated with the request. The related event audit code is AuditFileAuthorizationFailure.
URL authorization. This governs unauthorized attempts to access a URL resource. Failed attempts by an anonymous user are not audited, because anonymous authentication failure is acceptable in most circumstances. The related event audit code is AuditUrlAuthorizationFailure.
Generic unhandled or security unhandled conditions. The following is a list of the event codes related to these conditions:

When a WebFailureAuditEvent event is raised, ASP.NET health monitoring increments the related Audit Failure Events Raised performance counter and then checks the healthMonitoring configuration section to determine whether any providers subscribe to the event. If providers subscribe to the event, ASP.NET dispatches the event to them for processing.

Note

To view the Audit Failure Events Raised performance counter in System Monitor (PerfMon), in the Add Counters window, select ASP.NET from the Performance object drop-down list, select the Audit Failure Events Raised performance counter, and click the Add button.

Note

In most cases you will be able to use the ASP.NET health-monitoring types as implemented, and you will control the health-monitoring system by specifying values in the healthMonitoring configuration section. You can also derive from the health-monitoring types to create your own custom events and providers. For an example of deriving from the WebFailureAuditEvent class, see the Example section.

Notes to Inheritors

When formatting your custom event information for display, override the FormatCustomEventDetails(WebEventFormatter) method rather than the ToString method. This will avoid overwriting or tampering with sensitive system information.
