What is the best practice for monitoring application pool crashes for high availability web applications? My background is systems administratration and not web development. My thought was to use powershell to query the event logs every so often (what's a good time interval to check?) to searchf or application pool crash events, and if found sent email alerts and restart the application pool. I understand IIS/.NET has some built-in health checks; is that the better and robust approach? I'm open to suggestions and interesting in hearing what others might be doing.
