Internet Information Services 7.0 (Part 4 of 4): Diagnostics is the last of a four part series of presentations on getting the most from IIS 7.0. This section, called “Diagnostics” does a good job of standing on its own, and the presenter reviews a couple of key IIS concepts germane to the topic to make the presentation useful in and of itself.
The presentation does a good job of explaining how and where the tracing and status tools and API set apply and can be used by the IIS developer.
A high level overview of how these pieces work is the key to this presentation. It puts everything into context and gives the application developer and IIS administrator a clear idea of how to troubleshoot applications running on their web servers.
The information presented in Internet Information Services 7.0 (Part 4 of 4): Diagnostics makes it very clear that a properly coded application running on IIS can be fairly simple to troubleshoot if the appropriate tools are used.
TIP: Look for the quiz-type review slides to help differentiate between similar sounding techniques and problem areas.
