Question

With performance counter to observe the “Sessions Total“, I found the # of session stays the same after users logout. Is this expected behavior in IIS7?

Here is the logout implementation:

Session.Clear();
Session.Abandon();
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

Thanks.

I think you’re looking at the wrong counter:

• Sessions Total is the total number of sessions since the web application was started (this number will never go down, except if you restart the web app)
• Sessions Active is the current number of active sessions (<- this is what you want to look at)
