Iis – Windows Performance Counters ASP.NET Apps: Why is the www-service instance not visible

iisiis-6

A customer is complaining that one Web-based tool is loading very slowly, and I would like to monitor Request Execution Time using Administrative Tools / Performance. So I select ASP.NET Apps v2.0.50727 as the Performance Object and Request Execution Time as the Performance Counter. However, in the "Select instances from this list", I cannot find the instance ID of my web site. The web site is on HTTPS—could that be the problem? Any tips are appreciated.

Answer to the question: The site itself was stopped, and thus didn't appear in the instance list.
