KB0052 - Collecting IIS Application Pool Recycle Events

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide information on how to collect IIS Application Pool recycle events. Application Pool recycling can be problematic for PowerShell Universal servers. 

Walk Through
By default, only three of the eight recycling events will log to the Event Log. In order to collect all recycling events, you will need to enable the additional logs. In IIS Manager, navigate to Application Pools and then right click on the Application Pool running PowerShell Universal and select Advanced Settings. Within the Recycling section, enable all recycle log entries.


Once enabled, event log entries will be produced in the System log. Open Event Viewer and select Custom Views \ ServerRoles \ Web Server (IIS). 



Alternatively, you can view logs within the System log directly. Open Event Viewer, select Windows Logs \ System and then click Filter Current Log. Select the WAS (Windows Process Activation Service) event source.
