iis collector
The iis collector exposes metrics about the IIS server
| Metric name prefix | iis |
| Data source | Perflib |
| Enabled by default? | No |
Flags
--collector.iis.site-include
If given, a site needs to match the include regular expression in order for the corresponding metrics to be reported.
--collector.iis.site-exclude
If given, a site needs to not match the exclude regular expression in order for the corresponding metrics to be reported.
--collector.iis.app-include
If given, an application needs to match the include regular expression in order for the corresponding metrics to be reported.
--collector.iis.app-exclude
If given, an application needs to not match the exclude regular expression in order for the corresponding metrics to be reported.
The application filters apply to the application pool, worker process and HTTP request queue metrics (app label). The site filters apply to the Web Service metrics (site label).
Collection duration
windows_exporter_collector_duration_seconds{collector="iis"} can jump to about 250 ms on some scrapes, while it normally stays in the low milliseconds. At the same moments, some other collectors that read performance counters, such as system, logical_disk or net, can show the same duration.
The wait happens inside Windows, not in the exporter. The Web Service counters are served by the IIS counter DLL w3ctrs.dll. When its counter snapshot is older than 15 seconds, it asks the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) to refresh it and sleeps 250 ms before it checks the snapshot again. It repeats this up to 4 times, so a single wait can take up to about 1 s; the spikes observed so far were one 250 ms step. Counter reads of other collectors that start at the same moment can wait for the same time. In the observed cases the scrape still completed; only the reported duration was longer.
The DLL uses built-in defaults, which can be overridden with nonzero REG_DWORD values below HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Performance (a missing value or 0 keeps the default). Microsoft does not document these values, and changing them has not been tested as a mitigation, so try any change on a non-production system first. w3ctrs.dll reads them when it is loaded, so restart windows_exporter after a change. CheckCountersEveryNMiliseconds is spelled this way in Windows.
