I m trying to add some performance counters to my asp.net website. Now, I know how to increment/decrement some custom counter I make .. but my problem is that if I get my ASP.NET website to create these counters, if they do not exist (eg. i do this check in the global.asax App start method) then add/create them.
But, it doesn t work - access to the registry is denied/forbidden.
I m assuming this is because the asp.net process is so stripped down (for security) that u can t touch that type of thing.
Therefore, i m wondering if the only other solution is to make a quick console or winform app which does one thing -> add s the perf counters. running this as my normal logged in user would me i have admin rights, so it will work.
or is there something else i can do?
