Site statistics

Hey Guys, I'm trying to capture site statistics for our intranet
(IIS/ASP/Sharepoint 1). We need to track site usage in terms of which pages
are getting the most hits etc. I was thinking I could do this in IIS.
Please forward any thoughts, suggestions or recommendation.

You have web request logging enabled for your site, correct?

If so, then your weblogs are stored here:
c:\winnt\system32\logfiles\w3svc1
(w3svc1 will be different depending on which website you are looking at)

Grab your favourite log analyser software, and generate your stats.

Microsoft has a log parser tool that is free
Alternatively, analog (www.analog.cx) is another popular free tool.

Cheers
Ken

Hi TJ,

Very good question!

I think Ken has give us a very good suggestion about this issue. Log parser
released by Microsoft can be used to analyze your log files. Now the tool
is located in the IIS6 resource kit which can be obtained from
Microsoft.com. Please go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=56fc

But the resource kit can only be installed on Windows Server 2003 because
this is IIS6 resource kit. If you are using Windows 2000 or older version,
you can download the old version of the tool from Microsoft.com. Please go
to:

Furthermore, I'd also suggest that you can use the performance counters
provided with Windows OS to check the statistcs of your site dynamically.
You can select the "Web Service" performance objects, then select the
counter and instance you want to monitor your web site activities.

Microsoft also provides a reference for you to build one monitor with the
