Performance Monitor is an easy-to-use tool to record and monitor performance metrics. If you would like to measure IIS performance, you will need to add w3wp as an instance to your counter. What if there is no w3wp instance in the list?

Missing certificate in IIS binding (CertUtil and Private Keys)
Missing certificate is one of the common issues related to IIS binding settings. If you add a certificate to Server Certificates in IIS but you don’t see it in the binding window, there are two things to check first:
- Check if the certificate you added to “Server Certificates” is the one you created a “Certificate Request” for. If you added a certificate that wasn’t requested in “Server Certificates”, it won’t show up in IIS binding window even though it appears in “Server Certificates” list
- The most common cause of this issue the missing private key in the certificate. Follow the steps below to rebind the primary key to the certificate.

Event ID 15300 (HttpEvent)
