Worker Process Activation Service
This widget contains monitors specific to the worker process activation service for the current application pool. The icons of the listed performance counters in the Statistic Name column will change color to reflect the listed counter's current state. Clicking any performance counter in the Statistic Name column will take you to the Performance Counter Details page for that performance counter.
If the value of a listed performance counter approaches or crosses the Warning threshold, a yellow band will appear for the listed counter allowing plotted values that cross the threshold to easily be visualized against the yellow band. If the value of a listed performance counter approaches or crosses the Critical threshold, a red band will appear for the listed counter allowing plotted values that cross the threshold to easily be visualized against the red band. Hovering over any time period within the chart will display detailed information about that time period in the tooltip. Hovering over a counter will give you detailed information about that performance counter.
