The only way you can separate these out is to perform some manipulation on these log files before allowing your clients to see them. You could do this with Log Parser.

(multitenant architecture) I'm trying hard how to seperate out the log for each client... is this parameter will be helpful s-username...but in my case it is not logging anything...

  Re: Idetify the Correct Log Reply Contact Hi, you can isolate the client2 by using  the "cs-uri-stem" filed. The "cs-uri-stem" begins with "/client’s name". The query looks like: logparser.exe "select cs-uri-stem into Output file path from Log file path where cs-uri-stem like '/client2%' " If you have any problem about Log Parser, you can post a question at Log Parser’s forum: http://forums.iis.net/default.aspx?GroupID=51 Leo Tang Microsoft Online Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

Leo Tang - MSFT: you can isolate the client2 by using  the "cs-uri-stem" filed. The "cs-uri-stem" begins with "/client’s name". Because they are using the same virtual directory, this will not work. snarasingh: I'm trying hard how to seperate out the log for each client... You have quite a problem then.  The application should have been designed to take usage statistics into account.  There doesn't seem to be any way to identify from the IIS log what client content is being served.  Does the site use the same domain name for each client?

Or if it depends on the username logged in as, use cs-username or whatever. For prefixes or suffixes use "like" for example: cs-username like 'abc123%' catches all usernames beginning with abc123  Logparser is the answer.

So glance through your settings and log files and find it, then use LP to parse it. if no diff, then manually do it line by line :( Cheers, Bernard Cheah
