I think you have missed the point entirely, I am talking about log file analysis, the configuration of IIS and its understanding of SES has got nothing to do with how a third party app analyses its logs...

You can change how often a log rolls over into a new log in the IIS manager. An IIS log will only contain as much information as you configure it to contain. There are selections for rollover hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, unlimited, and by size. IIS was not written to understand SES URLs. If you want it to log SES URLs based on the file that is being requested, write an ISAPI filter that sits above the SES URL Rewriting ISAPI that you're already using that maintains its own log. Lastly, you can write queries against the log using Log Parser. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=890cd06b-abf8-4c25- 91b2-f8d975cf8c07&displaylang=en - Matt Small ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <cf-community@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 5:57 AM Subject: IIS Log file analysis > Any recommendations for good software for IIS log file analysis?
