Examples

The following code example shows how to derive from the WebApplicationLifetimeEvent class to create a custom event.

using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Management;

  // Implements a custom WebManagementEvent class. 
    public class SampleWebApplicationLifetimeEvent :
        System.Web.Management.WebApplicationLifetimeEvent
    {
        private string customCreatedMsg, customRaisedMsg;

        // Invoked in case of events identified only by 
        // their event code.
        public SampleWebApplicationLifetimeEvent(string msg, 
            object eventSource, int eventCode):
          base(msg, eventSource, eventCode)
        {
            // Perform custom initialization.
            customCreatedMsg =
            string.Format("Event created at: {0}",
            DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString());
        }

        // Invoked in case of events identified by their 
        // event code.and related event detailed code.

            customRaisedMsg = string.Format(
                "Event raised at: {0}\n", 
                DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString());
            // Raise the event.

The following configuration-file excerpt shows how to configure the healthMonitoring section of a configuration file to add the SampleWebApplicationLifetimeEvent code defined above to the ASP.NET health-monitoring system. To add the event to the system, you must define the event by adding a new entry to the eventMappings section and map the event to a provider by adding a new entry to the rules section.

<healthMonitoring  
  enabled="true"  
  heartBeatInterval="0">  

    <eventMappings>  
       <clear />  
       <!-- Configure the application lifetime event -->  
       <!-- object to handle the Web application events. -->  
       <add name="SampleApplicationLifetimeEvents"  
         type="System.Web.Management.SampleWebApplicationLifetimeEvent,  
         System.Web,Version=2.0.3600.0,  
         Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />  
     </eventMappings>  

    <rules>  
      <clear/>  
       // Configure the connection between the   
       // application lifetime event object   
       // and the provider that must process it.  
       <add name="Custom Application Events"  
         eventName="SampleApplicationLifetimeEvents"  
         provider="EventLogProvider"  
         profile="Default"  
         minInterval="00:01:00" />  
    </rules>  

</healthMonitoring>  

Remarks

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.

Application lifetime events include events such as application startup and shutdown events. If an application is terminated, you can determine why by viewing the related event message field.

When a WebApplicationLifetimeEvent instance occurs, ASP.NET health monitoring updates the Application Lifetime Events performance counter. You can log these events by adding the WebApplicationLifetimeEvent object to the rules subsection of the healthMonitoring section of the configuration file, as shown in the following example.

<rules>  
  <add name="Application Events"  
    eventName="Application Lifetime Events"  
    provider="EventLogProvider"  
    profile="Default"  
    minInterval="00:01:00" />  
</rules>  

The Application Lifetime Events performance counter contains the sum total of all ASP.NET lifetime events. To view this performance counter in System Monitor (PerfMon), in the Add Counters window select ASP.NET from the Performance object drop-down list. Select the Application Lifetime Events performance counter, and click the Add button. For more information, see "Using the System Monitor (PerfMon) with ASP.NET Applications" on MSDN. If you allow events to be logged by the standard EventLogWebEventProvider, you can view them in Event Viewer by selecting the Application log.

Notes to Inheritors

When formatting your custom event information for display, override the FormatCustomEventDetails(WebEventFormatter) method rather than the ToString method. This will avoid overwriting or tampering with sensitive system information.
