Usually, the log files are used for this (there are other ways as well).
It is a matter of reading the log files, and summarize what is logged.
There is nothing built into ASP.NET for this (well, you have everything
you need to read text files of course), and IIS is just a webserver, not a
log analyzer.
There are many (free and commercial) tools that can generate statistics. A
list of some of them can be found here:

If you want/need to develop your own, you may want to look at Log Parser,
which can help you:
