WmiWebEventProvider Class
Implements an event provider that maps ASP.NET health-monitoring events to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) events.
System.Configuration.Provider::ProviderBase
System.Web.Management::WebEventProvider
System.Web.Management::WmiWebEventProvider
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
The WmiWebEventProvider type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Description | Gets a brief, friendly description suitable for display in administrative tools or other user interfaces (UIs). (Inherited from ProviderBase.) |
![]() | Name | Gets the friendly name used to refer to the provider during configuration. (Inherited from ProviderBase.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Flush | Removes all events from the provider's buffer. (Overrides WebEventProvider::Flush().) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Initialize | Sets the initial values for this object. (Overrides ProviderBase::Initialize(String, NameValueCollection).) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ProcessEvent | Processes the event passed to the provider. (Overrides WebEventProvider::ProcessEvent(WebBaseEvent).) |
![]() | Shutdown | Performs tasks associated with shutting down the provider. (Overrides WebEventProvider::Shutdown().) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
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.
ASP.NET uses this class to map health-monitoring events to WMI events. To enable the delivery of ASP.NET health-monitoring events to the WMI subsystem, you must configure the WmiWebEventProvider class by adding the appropriate settings in the <healthMonitoring> section of the configuration file.
The information contained in the Aspnet.mof file describes the parameters of the WMI events raised when ASP.NET health-monitoring events are routed to the WmiWebEventProvider class and mapped into WMI events. The Aspnet.mof file is stored in the .NET Framework build directory, for example %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\BuildNumber. For more information about reporting health-monitoring events as WMI events, see Using WMI to Deliver ASP.NET Health-Monitoring Events.

|---|
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 creating a custom provider, see How to: Implement the Health Monitoring Custom Provider Example. |

The following example shows how to create a consumer of WMI events issued by ASP.NET health monitoring as a result of Web-application health events.
Note |
|---|
The WmiWebEventProvider class and the health event types to monitor are already configured by default. The only thing you need to do is to define the rule for all the health events. Remember that the health events are not dispatched to the WmiWebEventProvider provider by default. |
The following example is a configuration file excerpt that shows a <healthMonitoring> configuration section that enables ASP.NET to use the WmiWebEventProvider provider to process all health-monitoring events.
<healthMonitoring>
<rules>
<add
name="Using Wmi"
eventName="All Events"
provider="WmiWebEventProvider"
profile="Critical"/>
</rules>
</healthMonitoring>
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
