| Logs |
Tip: The WinCollect plug-in for Microsoft IIS can monitor W3C, IIS, and NCSA formatted event logs. However, the IIS and NCSA event formats do not contain as much event information in their event payloads as the W3C event format. To collect the maximum information available, configure your Microsoft IIS Server to write events in W3C format. WinCollect can collect both ASCII
and UTF-8 encoded event log files.

IIS Advanced Logging
New in WinCollect 10.1.4
WinCollect 10 now supports IIS Advanced Logging collection.
To enable this feature, you must first enable the Advanced UI on the WinCollect Console. This displays advanced settings on that can be customized.
On the source page for Microsoft IIS, select Advanced logs and update the Advanced logs directory if needed.
To further customize this feature, select the Advanced Logs accordion menu to display other configurable settings, such as the file name pattern.
Supported versions of Microsoft IIS
The WinCollect Microsoft IIS plug-in is not supported on versions of Microsoft IIS that are designated end-of-life by Microsoft. After the software is beyond the Extended Support End Date, the product might still function as expected. However, IBM® does not make code or vulnerability fixes to resolve WinCollect issues for older software versions.
