IIS, how to track when the server is up or down?

Question

Hi Guys,

I would like to know if there is a way, like a logging option in IIS to keep track of when the server or a site is up or down, so that when you get a client saying the service was down, you can go and check at that time and date and know if it was the server or the site, or something else....

Thanks for the help

Answer 1

This should probably be posted/moved to serverfault.com.

Answer 2

The logs should provide this information in terms of reboots and files served (with their response codes). You may want to consider a full monitoring system such as Silas Revielle though.
