Finding out when Application Pool recycles

Hi,

Does anyone know how to detect or find out when an application pool recycles
and the reason for doing so at the time?

Thanks - Jamie.

The AppPool will recycle depending on what you have set on the Recycling
tab when you view the properties of the AppPool. It can recycle based on
the number of requests, minutes, memory, or a set time. You can set a
metabase property to log an event when an AppPool recycles. Take a look at
the LogEventOnRecycle in the Help for IIS.

Thank you,

The System event log should have an event labeled "w3svc" and it will tell
you when it recycled. You can also use performance monitor to log or watch
for application restarts. It's likely the event log wont give you much
information so you may need to attach a debugger to the process.
If you dont have many sites/applications you can put them in their own app
pools to get a better idea of which is causing problems.
