Health Monitoring in ASP.NET 2.0: Raising Custom Events

As discussed in previous articles in this article series, ASP.NET 2.0's Health Monitoring system is designed to monitor the health of a running ASP.NET application in a production environment by recording event information to a specified log source. The Health Monitoring system includes a plethora of pre-defined events and the ASP.NET runtime will automatically raise certain events during the course of an application's lifetime. However, there may be times when we need to raise these events programmatically through our own code. Moreover, we can create our own custom events for scenarios not already accounted for by the Health Monitoring system.

In this article we will examine how to create a custom event and then how to programmatically raise it. As with other Health Monitoring events, when the event has been raised the Health Monitoring system will consult the configuration information in Web.config to determine what log source(s) to record the event's details. For this article we will create a custom event and write code to record log in attempts on a locked out user account. Read on to learn more!
