Hi,

I read somewhere that if you're using IIS 6.0, you should configure the log format parameter for custom logs like this;

LogFormat=”date time c-ip cs-username cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query sc-status sc-bytes cs-version cs(User-Agent) cs(Referer)”

I've read through the posts and saw that you configure custom logs like this;

LogFormat=”%time2 %url………

Which one is true for IIS 6.0 ? I have old logs in this format;

#Fields: date time s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) cs(Referer) sc-status sc-bytes time-taken

What should I write to LogFormat parameter to analyze this log?

Thanks for your help

edit:

I found out from your articles that

%time2 %other %method %url %query %logname %host %ua %referer %code %bytesd %other

would work with my type of log. But I'm still confused about the LogFormat I stated above (LogFormat=”date time c-ip cs-username cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query sc-status sc-bytes cs-version cs(User-Agent) cs(Referer)”). Which format should I use?

One more comment.

LogFormat=”date time c-ip cs-username cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query sc-status sc-bytes cs-version cs(User-Agent) cs(Referer)”

is not the same as

LogFormat=”date time s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) cs(Referer) sc-status sc-bytes time-taken”

Several different log formats are popular with IIS.
