This chapter provides an overview description of the Oracle system monitoring plug-in for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and summarizes the prerequisites required before configuration.
The following topics are provided:
Microsoft Internet Information Services is a web server available in all supported versions of Windows Server. The Microsoft Internet Information Services plug-in extends Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c to add support for managing Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.x and 7.x. By deploying the plug-in within your Cloud Control environment, you gain the following management features:
Monitor availability and receive Internet Information Services data for the following performance areas:
WWW service
ASP.NET applications
ASP applications
FTP service
NNTP service
SMTP service
Perform trend analysis on collected performance information.
View and compare configuration data, as well as track configuration changes.
Receive e-mail and/or page notification concerning potential problems surrounding availability, performance, and/or configuration data.
Gain access to rich out-of-box reports.
Support monitoring by a remote Agent. For remote monitoring, the Agent does not need to be on the same computer as Internet Information Services.
This plug-in supports the following versions of products:
Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1 or higher Management Service
Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1 or higher Agent for Windows
Microsoft Internet Information Server 6.0.x
Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.x and 7.x (including IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2) running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (see note below)
Note:
For details on which editions (such as Enterprise, Standard, and so forth) and versions of Windows operating systems that this Microsoft product is supported to run on, refer to the Microsoft website and/or documentation.The following prerequisites must be met before you can deploy the plug-in:
Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.x or 7.x is installed.
The following components of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1 or higher are installed:
Oracle Management Services with Oracle Management Repository
Oracle Management Agent for Windows
You can install the Agent on the same computer as Internet Information Services (referred to as local Agent monitoring), or you can install the Agent on a different computer from Internet Information Services (referred to as remote Agent monitoring).
Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation Service is up and running.
For remote Agent monitoring, a remote Agent must be properly configured. See Configuring a Remote Agent for the procedure.

Note:
If you do not assign the correct privileges for users, the deployment will fail.You can download plug-ins in online or offline mode. Online mode refers to an environment where you have Internet connectivity, and can download the plug-in directly through Enterprise Manager from My Oracle Support. Offline mode refers to an environment where you do not have Internet connectivity, or where the plug-in is not available from My Oracle Support.
See the Managing Plug-ins chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for details on downloading the plug-in in either mode:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24473/plugin_mngr.htm#CJGBEAHJ
You can deploy the plug-in to an Oracle Management Service instance using the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control console, or using the EM Command Line Interface (EMCLI). While the console enables you to deploy one plug-in at a time, the command line interface mode enables you to deploy multiple plug-ins at a time, thus saving plug-in deployment time and downtime, if applicable.
See the Managing Plug-ins chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for instructions on deploying the plug-in:

The Self Update feature allows you to expand Enterprise Manager's capabilities by updating Enterprise Manager components whenever new or updated features become available. Updated plug-ins are made available via the Enterprise Manager Store, an external site that is periodically checked by Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to obtain information about updates ready for download. See the Updating Cloud Control chapter in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Administrator's Guide for steps to update the plug-in:
