title: Health monitoring not working
body: <p>I am trying to set up health monitoring on an IIS 6/ASP.NET 2 application running on Windows Server 2003.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do for a first step, is getting the Application Lifetime Events in addition to the default events (as specified in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\web.config).</p>
  
  <p>On my dev machine running IIS 7 as NetworkService on Windows 7 that works fine.</p>
  
  <p>On the IIS 6 machine, the default events still get logged to the event log but the additional life time events do not. In addition, <strong>no events regarding misconfiguration get logged or shown</strong>. Also, using a <strong>SimpleMailProvider instead of the event logging does not produce results</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like it is just ignoring my settings. I have tried many variations of settings - even copied all the global healthmonitoring settings into the application web.config - but no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>Here is the settings I added to the web.config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;healthMonitoring enabled="true"&gt;
      &lt;rules&gt;
          &lt;clear /&gt;
          &lt;add name="All Errors Default" eventName="All Errors" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Critical" /&gt;
          &lt;add name="Application Lifetime Events Default" eventName="Application Lifetime Events" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Critical" /&gt;
          &lt;add name="Failure Audits Default" eventName="Failure Audits" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Critical" /&gt;
      &lt;/rules&gt;
  &lt;/healthMonitoring&gt;
  </code></pre>
