Programatically determine if IIS site is running or not - c#

I have a script that gathers up all sites in IIS and emails a few details for auditing. I want to adjust it so that it only emails sites that are running. I do not need to know about sites that are stopped. I already have a reference to all of the DirectoryEntrys in IIS but I don't see any properties that would indicate if it is running or not.
How is this done? Ideally this should run on both IIS6 and IIS7.

The DirectoryEntry.Properties collection, contains a ServerState property. It's not documented very well but I found this blogger that created his own enumeration which appears to be correct. The enum is
public enum ServerState
{
Unknown = 0,
Starting = 1,
Started = 2,
Stopping = 3,
Stopped = 4,
Pausing = 5,
Paused = 6,
Continuing = 7
}
Using this, the logic to check if a DirectoryEntry is running, you would use:
DirectoryEntry entry;
ServerState state = (ServerState)Enum.Parse(typeof(ServerState), entry.Properties["ServerState"].Value.ToString())
if (state == ServerState.Stopped || state == ServerState.Paused)
{
//site is stopped
}
{

Automatic Updates setting via WMI

Attempting to pull the automatic update settings from the registry of a remote server. For some reason, it's returning a 0 even though a manual check of the key is 1-4. What am I overlooking? Snippet below:
ManagementScope msAutoUpdateReg = new ManagementScope(#"\\" + remoteServer + #"\root\DEFAULT:StdRegProv", connection);
msAutoUpdateReg.Connect();
ManagementClass ci = new ManagementClass(msAutoUpdateReg, new ManagementPath(#"DEFAULT:StdRegProv"), new ObjectGetOptions());
ManagementBaseObject inParams = ci.GetMethodParameters("GetDWORDValue");
inParams["hDefKey"] = 0x80000002; //HKLM
inParams["sSubKeyName"] = #"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update";
inParams["sValueName"] = "AUOptions";
ManagementBaseObject outParams = ci.InvokeMethod("GetDWORDValue", inParams, null);
UInt32 auValue = (UInt32)outParams["uValue"];
if (auValue.ToString() != "0")
{
if (auValue == 1)
{
string currentSetting = "Keep my computer up to date has been disabled in Automatic Updates.";
}
if (auValue == 2)
{
string currentSetting = "Notify of download and installation.";
}
if (auValue == 3)
{
string currentSetting = "Automatically download and notify of installation.";
}
if (auValue == 4)
{
string currentSetting = "Automatically download and scheduled installation.";
}
}
else
{
string currentSetting = "Unknown";
}
I guess a process of elimination might help here...
1) Is this happening on just one server or are you getting this on all servers? How about on your own local machine? Is it a Windows version thing? For example it seems my Windows 10 box doesn't show the SubKey name you are looking for.
2) Do you also get zero if you change the sValueName to "foo"? Is a value of 0 representing an error?
3) Can you put a watch on outParams and check to see what values have been returned?
4) Are you being blocked by UAC, firewall or other permission issues? Can you execute other WMI commands against this server without any problems? Do you need to Run As Administrator to get this to work?
5) Are you getting an other exceptions or return values? I'm guessing you've posted just a portion of the code here so is this code inside a try/catch block?
Sorry if this sounds either vague or simplistic but I think you may need to look at what does work and what doesn't to see if you can identify a pattern.

Get Number of Requests Queued in IIS using C#

I need to collect following two informations from WebRole running IIS-8 on Azure.
Number of requests queued in IIS
Number of requests current being processed by worker
Since we are on Azure cloud service, I believe it would be better to stick together with default IIS configuration provided by Azure.
Approach 1: Use WorkerProcess Request Collection
public void EnumerateWorkerProcess()
{
ServerManager manager = new ServerManager();
foreach (WorkerProcess proc in manager.WorkerProcesses)
{
RequestCollection req = proc.GetRequests(1000);
Debug.WriteLine(req.Count);
}
}
Cons:
Requires RequestMonitor to be enabled explicitly in IIS.
Approach 2: Use PerformanceCounter class
public void ReadPerformanceCounter()
{
var root = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/App_Data/PerfCount.txt");
PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter(#"ASP.NET", "requests current", true);
float val = counter.NextValue();
using (StreamWriter perfWriter = new StreamWriter(root, true))
{
perfWriter.WriteLine(val);
}
}
Cons:
Requires higher privilege than currently running IIS process.
P.S. There has been a four years old SO post but not answered well.

Resolve 'configuration object is read only, because it has been committed by a call to ServerManager.CommitChanges()'?

I've written a custom action for an installer project that does the following:
Checks existing websites to see if any exist with the same name put
in by the user.
Creates the website in IIS if it doesn't exist.
Creates an application pool.
Assigns the application pool to the created website.
When it comes to assigning the application pool I get and error:
The configuration object is read only, because it has been committed
by a call to ServerManager.CommitChanges(). If write access is
required, use ServerManager to get a new reference.
This baffles me as it seems to suggest that I can't assign the newly created application pool with the ServerManager.CommitChanges() call. However, everything else works fine using this, which I wouldn't expect if this was an issue.
Here is my code:
I have a ServerManager instance created like so:
private ServerManager mgr = new ServerManager();
In my Install method I do the following:
Site site = CreateWebsite();
if (site != null)
{
CreateApplicationPool();
AssignAppPool(site);
}
Check existing websites - done in OnBeforeInstall method
private Site CheckWebsites()
{
SiteCollection sites = null;
Site site = null;
try
{
sites = mgr.Sites;
foreach (Site s in sites)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s.Name))
{
if (string.Compare(s.Name, targetSite, true) == 0) site = s;
}
}
}
catch{}
return site;
}
CreateWebSite method:
private Site CreateWebsite()
{
Site site = CheckWebsites();
if (site == null)
{
SiteCollection sites = mgr.Sites;
int port;
Int32.TryParse(targetPort, out port);
site = sites.Add(targetSite, targetDirectory, port);
mgr.CommitChanges();
}
else
{
//TO DO - if website already exists edit settings
}
return site;
}
Create App Pool
//non-relevant code...
ApplicationPool NewPool = mgr.ApplicationPools.Add(ApplicationPool);
NewPool.AutoStart = true;
NewPool.ManagedRuntimeVersion = "4.0";
NewPool.ManagedPipelineMode = ManagedPipelineMode.Classic;
mgr.CommitChanges();
Assign App Pool
private void AssignAppPool(Site site)
{
site.ApplicationDefaults.ApplicationPoolName = ApplicationPool; //ERRORS HERE
mgr.CommitChanges();
}
I can't see why a site could be created, an app pool created but then not assigned. Help.
I finally realised that the 'configuration object' referred to in the error was the 'site'. Seems obvious now, but basically I needed to re-get the site to then assign the app pool to it. I think this is allow the previous changes to take place and then pick them up. So I altered my code by removing the need to pass the Site into private void AssignAppPool() and just getting the site again like this:
Site site = mgr.Sites["TestWebApp"];

Detect IIS website is suspended

I am currently able to detect whether a IIS Website is started/paused/stopped using the following code:
public int GetWebsiteStatus(string machineName, int websiteId)
{
DirectoryEntry root = new DirectoryEntry(
String.Format("IIS://{0}/W3SVC/{1}", machineName, websiteId));
PropertyValueCollection pvc = root.Properties["ServerState"];
return pvc.Value
// - 2: Website Started
// - 4: Website Stopped
// - 6: Website Paused
}
I also want to detect if a Website is suspended or not. If the Website is suspended the method above still returns 2 (which is correct) but not enough for me.
I cannot find any code which do the job for IIS6 and higher.
Ah, do you mean the App Pool as stopped because of the timeout configuration? This is a different state to the web site remember? Well, certainly, you could change the settings so it doesn't recycle, but you could also try using code like this;
First, add a reference to \Windows\System32\inetsrv\Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll, then;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Web.Administration;
namespace MSWebAdmin_Application
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ServerManager serverManager = new ServerManager();
Site site = serverManager.Sites["Default Web Site"];
// get the app for this site
var appName = site.Applications[0].ApplicationPoolName;
ApplicationPool appPool = serverManager.ApplicationPools[appName];
Console.WriteLine("Site state is : {0}", site.State);
Console.WriteLine("App '{0}' state is : {1}", appName, appPool.State);
if (appPool.State == ObjectState.Stopped)
{
// do something because the web site is "suspended"
}
}
}
}
That code will independantly check the state of your appPool as opposed to your web site. It's possible for the web site to return "started" and the appPool to return "stopped".
See if it works in your case.
You might want to try using the following code, add your own logic and tidy up of course... but in essence you need to do the following and modify your code as you see fit.
Add the following enum
public enum ServerState
{
Unknown = 0,
Starting = 1,
Started = 2,
Stopping = 3,
Stopped = 4,
Pausing = 5,
Paused = 6,
Continuing = 7
}
Search for site and process it...
DirectoryEntry w3svc = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + "localhost" + "/W3SVC");
//check each site
foreach (DirectoryEntry site in w3svc.Children)
{
foreach (var s in site.Properties)
{
try
{
ServerState state =
(ServerState)
Enum.Parse(typeof (ServerState), site.Properties["ServerState"].Value.ToString());
if (state == ServerState.Paused)
{
//Do action
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
}
I hope this is useful for you as well...

How to Get Last Shutdown Time using C#

I have an application, that needs to get the last shutdown time. I have used EventLog class to get the shutdown time. I have separate class file that is designed to read/write event log. ReadPowerOffEvent function is intended to get the power off event.
public void ReadPowerOffEvent()
{
EventLog eventLog = new EventLog();
eventLog.Log = logName;
eventLog.MachineName = machineName;
if (eventLog.Entries.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = eventLog.Entries.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
EventLogEntry currentEntry = eventLog.Entries[i];
if (currentEntry.InstanceId == 1074 && currentEntry.Source=="USER32")
{
this.timeGenerated = currentEntry.TimeGenerated;
this.message = currentEntry.Message;
}
}
}
}
But whenever it tries to get the event entry count, it throws an IOException saying "The Network Path Not found". I tried to resolve, but I failed. Please help me out...
I think you sent wrong Log name, this worked for me
EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
myLog.Log = "System";
myLog.Source = "User32";
var lastEntry = myLog;
EventLogEntry sw;
for (var i = myLog.Entries.Count -1 ; i >=0; i--)
{
if (lastEntry.Entries[i].InstanceId == 1074)
sw = lastEntry.Entries[i];
break;
}
}
You have to have the "Remote Registry" service running on your machine (or the machine you want to run this app on). I suspect that this service in set to manual start on your machine. You may have to change the setting on this service to automatic.
If this app is going to be running on other machines, you may want to put some logic into your app to check to make sure this service is running first. If it isn't then you will need to start it up through your app.
Note:
The "Remote Registry" service enables remote users to modify registry setting on your computer. By default, the "Startup type" setting for the "Remote Registry" service may be set to "Automatic" or "Manual" which is a security risk for a single user (or) notebook PC user.
So, to make sure that only users on your computer can modify the system registry disable this "Remote Registry" service.
