ASP.NET has a nice feature called Health Monitoring. Once defined in system.web/healthMonitoring section we get very useful web events to log/analyze. Are there any similar means for WCF services that don't use ASP.NET compatibility mode and hosted under IIS7/WAS ?
Update: What i've found out is that enabling system.web/healthMonitoring in WCF service's web.config allows to get some of web events: System.Web.HttpRuntime, 1002, "Application is shutting down. Reason: Configuration changed.". No heartbeats and others. I don't understand how that works if ASP.NET is not involved in the process but that's the fact.
You can add some configuration to the config file of the client and will have a lot of logging information. check the below links
