We have a new server and would like to monitor the CPU usage that each of our virtual websites is consuming...how do we go about that??

Is there any special software (free or pay) that we can install and it will show us who is consuming the most CPU usage??

We would lke to keep tabs on customers who are using too much of the server resources and I know that this will make our job a lot easier.

Thanks for any help provided.

Windows 2000 server have a better support for snmp. I would use mrtg to read the cpu usage on your windows server. You can even read your memory usage if you need too.

Thanks but I think may have not posted this question correct.

Currently we use the Windows Task Manager tool that comes standard with the server to montir CPU usage. Sometimes we see that CPU usage goes over 70-80% (very very bad) and we want to know WHO is causing this. We would like to know if there is one particular customer using CGI scripts that may be causing this very heavy CPU usage so we can take care of the problem.

I do not think that the Windows Task Manager provides us with such a detailed instructions :(

Does "SNMP" and "MRTG" provide us with that?? and if so how can I access that??

Have you tried using the performance monitor in the IIS management console? Just click its icon on the toolbar. From there you can monitor individual virtual hosts usage such as ASP, etc.

how about hitting ctrl+alt+del and then clickin on task manager? ;)
