MORE INFORMATION

The sample Httpmon.ini file located in the %windir% directory included with the application installation does not include a key field and value to run correctly. As a result, the application is started (running), but no data is written to the data CSV files.

To fix the problem, a new version of the executable has been compiled. It is available for free download at the following location: 
   ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/utilities/httpmon

   get Httpmon.exe
   get Readme.txt

After you download these files, replace your existing Httpmon.exe file with the new one and restart the service.

NOTE: You must first stop the application before copying the new Httpmon.exe over the existing Httpmon.exe.
