Does the Monitoring Listener work with IIS and other web servers ?

Hi,
 
I've been reading about the Monitor in the User Discussion List.
I know jMETER can send HTTP requests to IIS and other servers, but can the Monitor retrieve the IIS used memory, and other server statistics ???

I found this message from Peter Lin talking about the Monitor ..... 
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=jmeter-user@jakarta.apache.org&msgNo=5465
-------------------
three important things.
1. the server must be Tomcat 5.0.19 or newer.
2. check "use as monitor" in the sampler
3. add a authmanager and make sure the logic is good

if you don't have these three things, will always be dead.  does that help?

So this  means that the Monitor can never retrieve server information from servers different from the Jakarta server?
 
Thanks, JAIME

actually any server that uses JMX and MBeans can port the servlet from
tomcat and use it. all one would need to do is configure the mbeans
correctly.

In terms of IIS, I actually tried to write a simple ASPX page to
return data. What I discovered to my surprise is many of the IIS
performance metrics return 1 or zero. In other words, they don't
actually do anything. for example, I tried get active threads and it
always returned 1, even though I had 10 concurrent threads going.

I can send you the aspx code, if you like. Unless you write your own
component to monitor the number of active threads, total threads,
spare threads and so on, there's really no good way of getting data
from IIS.

the only thing Jmeter cares about for the monitor is the data has to
use the same format as the xsd in tomcat's status servlet. if you have
any more questions, feel free to ask.
