Get Number of active service instances?

Is there anyway of getting the number of active instance of the service I've tried adding a static int counter in the constructor and 开发者_运维技巧this works and implemented Idisposable to decrement the counter on the service but the dispose method only gets called when the service host closes?

Is there any native object i can get and see the current instance count?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Check out a gazillion of performance counters available for WCF:

or google or bing for "WCF performance counters" - lots of hits.

Also, with Server 2008 R2 "AppFabric" (f.k.a. "Dublin"), Microsoft promises to bring us a really nice dashboard-style WCF management system - should be out in a few months at the very latest: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/app-main.aspx
