How to Find App Pool Recycles in Event Log

iisiis-7.5

I have configured an app pool in IIS 7.5 to recycle when the memory usage goes above a certain level. I have also configured it to log this information.

Where in the event log should I look for this?

I have tried filtering based on the source being all the IIS items, e.g. 'IIS-W3SVC-WP', 'IIS-IISManager', and all the rest, but nothing.

I can see that it is adding in the items from the 'IIS-Configuration' log too which I enabled. But still nothing.

It seemed quite hard to find this information, but eventually, I came across this question
You have to look at the 'System' event log, and filter by the WAS source.
Here is more info about the WAS (Windows Process Activation Service)
