IIS log monitoring configuration

To monitor IIS logs in applicare, verify below settings are available in the IIS.

1. Go to Agent machine (i.e IIS machine) and in “Start” type “IIS” and select “Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager”.

2. Select the “IIS User” and double click the “Logging”.

3. Make sure the below four settings are the same in the Logging window.

• One log file per -> Site
• Format -> W3C and Encoding ->UTF-8. The directory may contain any path.
• Log Event Destination -> Log file only
• Do not create new log files -> Should be unchecked

4. Verify the below specified W3C Logging Fields are enabled in the same format. Other than the below-enabled fields no other fields should be enabled.

5. Likewise, all the sites should have the same Logging settings in the Logging window and W3C Logging fields.

6. Select the site and double click the Logging option and check the Logging and W3C Logging Fields for that site. Likewise check for other sites as well.

7. Likewise we need to verify the logging fields for all the sites.

If anything is different Apply the above-specified settings.

If there are no changes done in the Logging then close the (IIS) Manager window.  If any changes made in the Logging then “Apply” the changes and restart the IIS.

8. IIS Restart. (Needed only if we would have changed the settings).

9. Make sure we have access to all the IIS Log folders and Log files for all the sites.
