How to get the current list of Worker Request from IIS using C#?

Question

I am writing the code for a RESTful web service status page. I was wondering if there is away to get the current request from IIS into C#.

I am using IIS 7.0 and the info I want is under

IIS > Worker procecces > ASP.NET v4.0 > Requests

Answer 1

You can use the GetRequests method of the WorkerProcess type. This type is located in the Microsoft.Web.Administration assembly which can be installed using this unofficial nuget package or by adding a reference to this dll %WinDir%\System32\InetSrv\Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll

Example:

using (ServerManager manager = new ServerManager())
{
    while (true)
    {
        var requests = manager.ApplicationPools
                                .Where(pool => pool.Name == "FooPool")
                                .SelectMany(pool => pool.WorkerProcesses)
                                .SelectMany(wp => wp.GetRequests(10));

        Console.WriteLine(requests.Count());
        Thread.Sleep(100);
    }
}

Note: You need to have the IIS Request Manager feature enabled and also run with a user with sufficient permissions. See How do I see currently executing web request on IIS 8
