Is there a real time IIS traffic viewer (or way to programmatically get it via C#)

Question

I would like to get a feel for the web traffic that I'm having on an IIS box, and was wondering if there is already a good 'real time' IIS tool out there.

Ideally this would something I could apply custom scripting logic to.

Also, is there a way to programmatically (from C#) access that information? It looks like the way to do it is via Performance counters or parsing the IIS log, but surely there is a better way.

Answer 1

I ended up implementing a real-time IIS/App logging solution using Firebase (see my blog post for a screenshot of it in action).

It works really well, with us having real-time access to what happens in the live website.

I can post more details there is interest in this topic.

Answer 2

Good point, I'll need such thing soon as well.
Quick search gave me IIS Traffic Monitor and this bunch of tools.
Haven't used any of them.
