Author Logfile analysis - looking for IIS logfile
Arnout Engelen

2005-06-29, 7:52 am

Hello,

I'm developing a log analysis application that shows you (approximately)
what paths though a site are most popular.

This currently works well as a script under unix for Apache logfiles,
but I've been working on a GUI version that works on Windows
(http://pathalizer.sf.net/gui.html).

I'd like to add support for IIS logfiles, but I don't use IIS myself.
Could anyone provide me with an example IIS logfile to test with? I'd
highly appreciate it.


Kind regards,

Arnout

IIS supports 3 formats... They conform standards...

The Microsoft IIS standard
THe NCSA Common Log standard
and the W3C Extended Log File Format

The last one is the default one, and I hardly know anybody who uses the
Microsoft IIS standard since that format was introduced on a very early IIS
version.

There also is an ODBC logging option. This is very limited in options. I
would not program for that format.

Aha, thanks for the info. For now I think I'll focus on the W3C format,
which seems quite elegant.

I cooked up basic support based on http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-logfile.html,
but i'd like to test on a real-world log.


Kind regards,

If you also send a request to me at jcochran AT naplesgov DOT com I'll
zip a few as well. Let me know IIS5, IIS6 or both.
