Checking memory usage of an ASP.NET web site

Question

I'm using shared ASP.NET hosting and I have no remote-desktop access to the web server. I only have the ability to FTP ASP.NET related files to the server.

In this scenario, how would I see how much memory my ASP.NET application is consuming?

Answer 1

Could you create a page that listed various performance counters in a password-protected part of the site? That would be my suggestion, along with making sure that somewhere on the page, a machine name or IP is listed so that should the site move among various servers, this can be noted somewhere. Another idea would be to either write to a log file or send an e-mail with various performance counters so that you could see a history of how the server is doing, but be careful on the e-mail that this could become spam-like if you do it too frequently.

Update: Maybe Process.PeakVirtualMemorySize64 is more focused on your need. Did not try it myself.
