Security issue calling ddl from Website

[Nenefta]

Hi all,


I created a website in .Net 2005. I wanted to use Health monitoring to
keep track of the amount of pagerequests coming in. If that number
exceeds a certain value, I want to reroute new users to another page.
Therefore, in my solution I have a project to read the specific
Performance Counter I need. My web.config is set up to call this
function every 10 sec. (using the HeartbeatWebEvent). The performance
counter will not give any values in this setup however.
When I directly read the Performance Counter from my global.asax, I do
get the specific values.
I guess my original setup does not work because another process
initiates the WebEvent but I do not know how to solve it.

Any directions would be appreciated!

Grtx,

To throttle connections I'd suggest changing the IIS configuration.
See the "Performance" tab under website properties and select a value
for "Connections limited to:".

Thank you for your reply.

I understand I can keep the amount of pagerequests restricted through
IIS configuration. However, we want to let users with an existing
session to be able to always see pages. I want to keep new sessions
from being added untill the storms has gone over.

Furthermore, I would still find it interesting to know how I can
combine Performance Counters and Health Monitoring.

That can be tough, because it's hard to spot exactly when a user has
ended a session.

So you are reading the performance counters when the heartbeat event
fires? That is an interesting alternative to using a server side
timer. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to read the perf counter,
perhaps if you share some code we could take a look.
