View Currently Executing Requests in a Worker Process

When you notice that a worker process is using many resources on your Web server, or requests are taking a long time to process, you can view a list of current requests that are processing in a specific worker process. 

This information can help you determine where a problem occurs in a specific area of a site or application. 

You can view which requests are currently processing in the worker process, and then use that information to investigate why a certain request takes so much time to process.

The currently executing request information in IIS Manager returns the following information about requests in a worker process:

• Site ID. The site identifier (ID) for the specific request.
• Url. The requested Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
• Verb. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) verb used in the request.
• Client IP. The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client who made the request.
• State. The current pipeline module state that the request is in.
• Module Name. The current module that the request is in.
• Time Elapsed. The period of time the request has been in process.
