I've just installed the "Request Monitor" role in "Server Manager",

request monitor

hoping that I could watch all the HTTP requests come in and go out. Now how do I access this tool? I've never used this software before and I can't seem to find it.

    Thank you for asking this (and posting the screenshot.) I had the reverse problem; I have used the action in the past but didn't realize there was a feature that needed to be installed to use it. I had no actions in the pane and needed to install the feature you referenced. – Mark Avenius Sep 12 '16 at 17:38

From https://portal.ektron.com/KB/10396/:

Find the "Worker Process" icon on the server settings in IIS Manager.

    I did all these but when i go to the requests, the list is empty.I have like 50 requests per minute so the list should be full. Is a server restart needed in order to work? – Sotiris Zegiannis Sep 11 '19 at 07:53
  • Same here - busy server but empty lists for all active application pools! – gchq Feb 19 '20 at 19:12

From the article on View Currently Executing Requests in a Worker Process (IIS 7):

  1. Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager, see Open IIS Manager (IIS 7). For information about navigating to locations in the UI, see Navigation in IIS Manager (IIS 7).
  2. In the Connections pane, select the server node in the tree.
  3. In Features View, double-click Worker Processes.
  4. Select a worker process from the grid. Note that only running worker processes show up here, so you may need to launch the desired one by issuing a request.
  5. Click View Current Requests in the Actions pane.
  6. View the list of requests in the grid.
