I'd like to monitor w3wp.exe memory usage on another machine through a load test. I see no ways of adding a counter of this sort.
I do see that I can monitor committed bytes in use, which is fine, but I want to see that it's w3wp that's using that memory.
Any ideas?

The counter you want is Process/Private Bytes
Instance is w3wp. You may need to add additional instances for w3wp#1, w3wp#2, etc.
You can add this to your IIS or ASP.NET counter set. Right-click on Counter Categories, Add Counter.

Thanks Ed, I'll try this today. An interesting thing I'm seeing with monitoring w3wp with the task manager is that I'm seeing runaway memory and eventual recycle with the VS Load test, but when I try the older WAST, it's not occuring. Perhaps this will help somewhat.
