IIS 6 Log files

Hi, Penny.
To see what does the IIS log contain you can use notepad.
What does a every filed means ? That depends on what type of log have you
chosen (right click on the website -> properties -> Web Site.
At the bottom of the tab is a drop down menu of Active log format, where you
can see what type of log is used.
Microsof II log file format is a standart logging format. In this format log
record field names not defined, but quite understandable:
88.222.146.116, -, 9/13/2006, 0:18:44, W3SVC1, WEBSERVERIS, 192.168.1.1,
23250, 520, 106478, 200, 0, GET, /aukos/informacija/bp-doc/nutar/163-nut.pdf,
-,

88.222.146.116 - Clients IP, 9/13/2006 -date, 0:18:44 - time, W3SVC1 - log
name, WEBSERVERIS - Webserver name, 192.168.1.1 - webserver IP on the
network, 200 - server response ( if its nuber more than 400 it's an error or
forbidden contetn for that client), GET - an action taken,
/aukos/informacija/bp-doc/nutar/163-nut.pdf - file reguested.

If you chose W3C Extended Log file format, yuo will be able to customize the
log file fields and their names will be seen at the top of every log file:

#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0
#Version: 1.0
#Date: 2006-03-16 05:58:33
#Fields: date time s-sitename s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query s-port
cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status
2006-03-16 05:58:33 W3SVC1 192.168.1.1 GET /index.htm - 80 - 192.168.1.1
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.2;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)
