Logging Site Activity

You can collect information about user activity by enabling logging for your Web sites. The information is stored in ASCII files or an ODBC-compliant database. Logging information in IIS goes beyond the scope of the event-logging or performance-monitoring features of Windows. The logs can include information such as who has visited your site, what the visitor viewed, and when the information was viewed last. You can use the logs to assess content popularity or identify information bottlenecks.
