Enabling Web Management Service Failed Request Tracing

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Web Management Service Failed Request Tracing

When to Use

You can use WMSvc failed request tracing for troubleshooting delegation issues or deployment issues that involve the Web Management Service. However, it is not recommended as a full-time logging solution because it logs all requests and all events associated with each request. You do not need to stop the Web Management Service to enable this type of logging.

Information logged

Web Management Service failed request logging records the following information.

  • All request pipeline details.

  • All Web Deploy handler operations.

  • All successful requests.

  • All failed requests.

Important

Unlike the IIS failed request tracing feature, you cannot restrict WMSvc failed request logging to specific URLs or HTTP response codes.

Example WMSvc failed request tracing log entry

An example WMSvc failed request tracing entry follows.

AspNetModuleDiagErrorEvent Error

Uri="/msdeploy.axd", eventData="Not authorized.Details: No rule was found that could authorize user 'WinServer2K8\test', provider 'createApp', operation 'Read', path 'default web site/App1'."
