IIS 6.0 W3C Extended Log File Format Configuration

Hello:

I'm using a single instance of IIS 6.0 to host several application oriented
web sites and would like to configure each web site with it's own directory
for logging.

While I have been able to create separate logging directories, which I
assume IIS will properly forward the respective logs for each web site onto
the appropriate directory [provided I configure each web sites logging
properties correctly], I would also like to be able to adjust the "default"
file namimg convention from "w3SVC1\exyymmddhh.log" to just "exyymmddhh.log"
as this creates an apparently unnecessary sub-directory.

Is this possible and if so how is this accomplished?

Thanks,

Bob

Hi,

As far as i know, this is not possible. I cannot find any metabase
property that could change this behavior.

Re: IIS 6.0 W3C Extended Log File Format Configuration

I don't see a metabase property or a registry entry to do what you are
asking.

Here are global registry entries for IIS 6.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20 03/Library/IIS/60a90c91-a8d0-43b6-89db-a431d0ea0cb4.mspx?mfr =true

You could replace the logging module in IIS 7 and perform what you need.
You would need to write the HTTP module or native module.
