AppManager for Microsoft Internet Information Server

AppManager for Microsoft Internet Information Server (AppManager for IIS) expands NetIQ's AppManager Suite (AppManager), the industry's leading solution for managing, diagnosing and analyzing the performance and availability of Windows- and UNIX-based systems, applications and server infrastructures. In addition to optimizing IIS performance and running prepackaged management reports, this module ensures availability through automated event detection and correction and lowers support costs associated with managing your IIS deployment.

  • Provides pro-active event management.  AppManager for IIS delivers robust fault management by pro-actively detecting potential problems that can impact the availability of your IIS environment.
  • Allows for easy automation.  Lets you easily set up event-driven actions—such as sending email or pager alerts, generating an SNMP trap to a network manager or running a corrective fix program—to automatically execute when a specific event occurs.
