IIS monitoring tool

I have a need for a tool that would monitor and more importantly log requests on IIS. This tool would have to report basic info about requests such as date/time of request, time spent for request, kbytes transferred... etc

What do you people use for such monitoring?

You should extend and add all of the IIS properties you want to log.

To do this, do the following:

  1. Go into IIS
  2. Select properties on your website.
  3. Under the website tab, choose properties in the logging section.
  4. Select the Extended Properties tab.
  5. Select extended properties
  6. Select all of the items you want to log.

Reset IIS.

You can now use a log parser to look through the log. http://www.smartertools.com/ has a decent one called smarter stats, and is free for a small site.

You can use IIS's log files and read them using Log Parser (free download from MS).

In response to comment: the format of the IIS log file can be found here: IIS Log File Format (IIS 6.0) and here.

IIS Log files + log analysers.

Log analysers like webtrends will give you a lot of information.
