Use the Recycling Events to Log page of the Edit Application Pool Recycling Settings Wizard to configure IIS to log an event when a worker process is recycled.

You can configure IIS to log information for recycling events that you configure, such as at a fixed interval, or for recycling events that occur at runtime, such as when an ISAPI declares itself unhealthy.
