Hot to get IIS application pools CPU utilization?

[askrinnik]

Problem Statement

I have IIS installed on my Windows server. There are a couple of application pools with hosted applications.
How can I get CPU and memory usage of these pools?

I've read the following question but didn't understand the answer :(

Environment

• windows_exporter Version: 0.29.2
• Windows Server Version: Windows Server 2019 Datacenter

Enable the process collector with --collector.process.iis may helps.

Unfortunately, it didn't help. I don't see CPU and memory metrics
Also they are absent in that Windows Exporter IIS Node dashboard

[askrinnik]

Guys, any ideas about the question?

[jkroepke]

Did you enable the process collector?

Did you enable the process collector?

Here is a list of my collectors:
--collectors.enabled="cpu,cs,iis,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,textfile"

Please correct me if I have made a mistake.
I see a lot of metrics displayed in that dashboard
But there are no CPU or memory utilization values

I've just read the manual again.
Should I change my values like here:
--collectors.enabled="cpu,cs,iis,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,textile,process" --collector.process.iis=true

[jkroepke]

Yeah, try it out

[askrinnik]

Yeah, try it out

Here is my current service running command:

"C:\Program Files\windows_exporter\windows_exporter.exe" --collectors.enabled="cpu,cs,iis,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,mssql,process" --log.file="C:\Program Files\windows_exporter\log.txt" --config.file="C:\Program Files\windows_exporter\config.yaml"

It works fine and I see processes
When I add an argument --collector.process.iis=true, the service running fails. No errors in the log.

Could you try to run that command from command line? (cmd.exe)

Could you try to run that command from command line? (cmd.exe)
That's a great idea
I see the following error in the command line window:

ERROR Failed to parse CLI args err="unexpected true"

But this is the recommended option here: https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/master/docs/collector.process.md

[jkroepke]

Could you just try --collector.process.iis

[askrinnik]

Could you just try --collector.process.iis

Yes, it has started without the issues.
But I'm not sure that I see new metrics

[jkroepke]

Look for windows_process_info metric and observe, if you see metrics related to ISS/Workers (process_name)

I'm not sure what I should observe
I found some metrics for w3wp_MyAppPool, but there are no CPU and memory utilization :(

[jkroepke]

Example for Memory:

There should be a metric windows_process_working_set_private_bytes as well.

I have no idea about IIS. I have an environment with an empty IIS, but no lack of info how I configure the environment, I'm unable to provide any details.

Anyway, thank you so much for the help.
At least I managed to understand better the process
