Website IIS log viewer
Navigate to: Main Menu > Websites > Select a website > Click the IIS log viewer tab.
This tool allows you to query the web server's internal access logs directly from your browser. This is useful for analyzing traffic patterns, debugging errors, or identifying broken links without downloading massive log files to your local machine.
1. Select a Query Type
Choose the specific data you want to extract from the Query dropdown:
- Requests (per hour/day): Counts the number of page views and script executions. This is generally the most accurate metric for site traffic.
- Hits (per hour/day): Counts every single file requested from the server, including images, stylesheets, and scripts. This number is usually much higher than "Requests."
- Top 100 documents: Shows the most frequently accessed files on your site.
- Raw IIS Log: Displays the unformatted log entries. Use this for deep debugging (e.g., checking specific error codes like 404 or 500, or seeing the user agent strings of visitors).
2. Select Time Interval
Due to the large volume of data generated by web servers, log queries are limited to recent history. Select your target period from the Time interval dropdown:
- Today
- Yesterday
- Two days ago
3. Execute
Click the RUN IIS QUERY button to generate the report. The results will appear in a grid below the form.
