I have developed my own custom provider for the health monitoring; however, I use parameters in the constructor and this is not allowed when using the health monitoring from the web.config file.

Does anyone know if I can turn on/off the monitoring and have it watch properly through code (possibly in my global.asax file on application startup).

Or, is it possible for me to create my own watcher that will do the same thing as the health monitor.

Or, finally - can I just pass variables from the web.config setup (i'm not familiar with the public token part of the provider type declaration).

Thanks in advance
