Hi there,

I am configuring ansible to enable IIS module in Metricbeat "if" the IIS services are installed, however, I want to understand **exactly** which IIS services must be running for metricbeat to be able to gather IIS related metrics as I cannot garner that from the documentation.

From my research, there are numerous Windows services relating to IIS and not all may be started on a server:

AppHostSvc  
W3SVC  
IISADMIN  
MSFTPSVC  
SMTPSVC

Many thanks,

Abi
