I am needing to monitor the status of multiple IIS App Pools on about 5 IIS Servers. I am able to monitor them via the w3wp.exe process and passing the -ap "APP POOL NAME" -v, I am able to see the UP / DOWN status but the issue is that these IIS servers are behind an F5 and I am not getting an accurate read on which server the pool is actually up on.
Is there a better way to monitor these pools to determine the true status of IIS App Pools behind a load balancer?
