[ 1 Introduction ] [ 2 Valid tags and data tables ] [ 3 Table structure ] [ 4 How is the data sent to Devo? ]

Introduction

The tags beginning with web.iis identify events generated by the Internet Information Services belonging to Microsoft.

Valid tags and data tables

The full tag must have at least 3 levels. The first two are fixed as web.iis. The third level identifies the type of events sent.

These are the valid tags and corresponding data tables that will receive the parsers' data:

Product/Service	Tag	Data table

Product/Service	Tag	Data table
Apache HTTP Server Project	`web.iis.accessNcsa`	`web.iis.accessNcsa`
	`web.iis.access-w3c.pro.gif.1`	`web.iis.accessW3c`
	`web.iis.access-w3c.env.aws.pam`	`web.iis.accessW3c`
	`web.iis.access-w3c-all.b.app.clon`	`web.iis.accessW3cAll`
	`web.iis.access-w3c-all.pro.gif.1`	`web.iis.accessW3cAll`

For more information, read the article about Devo tags.

IIS access logs: In the access log there is one event for each request processed by the server. Follow these steps to select type of logs you want to process:

IIS 7.0 and later

IIS 7.0 and later

Open IIS Manager (Start → Control Panel → System and security → Administrative tools → IIS Manager).
Select the site want to configure and double click on the Register icon in the Features view.
Check that the Logging is enabled (Enable/Disable option on the Actions view).
Select the log format in the Format field (Register File section from Features view).

NCSA Common Format:
The NCSA Common format is fixed and it corresponds to the web.iis.access-ncsa tag. The log format is the same used in web.apache.accessclf (Common Log Format).
remotehost rfc931 authuser [date] "request" status bytes
W3C Extended format:
The W3C Extended log file format is the default log file format for IIS and it corresponds to the web.iis.access-w3c tag.
#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.5 #Version: 1.0 #Date: 2013-01-03 08:45:16 #Fields: date time 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 time-taken
For a detailed description of the log fields, see the Microsoft documentation.
W3C Extended ALL format:
This is the same as the W3C Extended format but logs all of the available fields and it corresponds to the web.iis.access-w3c-all tag. We recommend this format because it offers a greater level of detail.
#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.5 #Version: 1.0 #Date: 2013-01-21 11:46:52 #Fields: date time s-sitename s-computername s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query s-port cs-username c-ip cs-version cs(User-Agent) cs(Cookie) cs(Referer) cs-host sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status sc-bytes cs-bytes time-taken

How is the data sent to Devo?

Devo recommends using the File Fetcher of the Endpoint Agent to forward IIS to Devo. In both cases:

Make sure the logs are written in text files.
Have the complete paths to the log files on hand when setting up the sending.
