WebAuditEvent Class
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
ASP.NET health monitoring allows production and operations staff to manage deployed Web applications. The System.Web.Management namespace contains the health-event types responsible for packaging application health-status data and the provider types responsible for processing this data. It also contains supporting types that help during the management of health events.
The WebAuditEvent class is the base class from which the ASP.NET health-monitoring audit-event classes derive. The audit events generate information about security-related operations in a Web application and provide both a success and failure event for each audited operation.
The health-monitoring system can audit both successful and unsuccessful events, which means an application can be monitored for both normal and malfunctioning conditions. By default, only the failure audit events are recorded.
The following operations are audited by ASP.NET, and may generate success-or-failure health-monitoring audit events:
-
Login attempts made by users of an ASP.NET application. For more details about this auditing, see WebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent and WebSuccessAuditEvent.
-
Security-related events, such as authentication failures, failed resource access attempts, and other security-related events. The log of these events can be useful when investigating an intrusion or attack on the application. By default, no auditing support is provided for authorization failures of anonymous users. For more details about failure event audits, see WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent and WebFailureAuditEvent.
-
Custom events raised by an ASP.NET application. You can audit custom events by extending the functionality provided by the WebAuditEvent class and derived classes

| In most cases you will be able to use the ASP.NET health-monitoring types as implemented, and you will control the health-monitoring system by specifying values in the healthMonitoring configuration section. You can also derive from the health-monitoring types to create your own custom events and providers. For an example of deriving from the WebAuditEvent class, see the example provided in this topic. |
