Download and install log parser
2.2 from below link:
Make
sure you read all the software usage policies and agreements before you use any
software.
Once
you install the software, you will find the exe and related files at-
C:\Program Files\Log Parser 2.2
Copy
the files and put it in a folder of your convenience.
Copy
the log file folder from C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\
The
folder name would be something like W3SVC1612407519 in which ‘1612407519’ will
be ID of the web application from IIS which you can find out as shown below:
The
log files in the folder will be text files. Screenshot below:
So
now that we have the folder, copy the bat files to the same folder in which we
have all the files and log file folder.
Click
on edit you will see a query like:
LogParser.exe -i:IISW3C "SELECT TOP 1000 cs-uri-stem as URIStem,
COUNT(*) as Hits INTO C:\Users\libin.makkalikkal\Desktop\TestLogparser\URLHitDetails.csv
FROM C:\Users\libin.makkalikkal\Desktop\TestLogparser\W3SVC1612407519\*
WHERE URIStem Is Not Null AND date>'2013-01-15'
GROUP BY URIStem" -e 1
The
file path in green is the path of csv file into which we are writing the
output. The file path in red is the path where IIS logs are located. Please
change the date highlighted in blue to the date starting from which we require
data. Edit the bat file with new file locations and date, save and run it.
You
will see the ouput csv file created in the folder with the query results.
You
can use the query to get information from a specific time period if used as
below:
SELECT QUANTIZE(TO_LOCALTIME(TO_TIMESTAMP(date, time)), 3600) AS Hour,
COUNT(*) AS Hits FROM c:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\*
WHERE date>'2010-03-01' and date<'2010-04-01' Group By Hour
