In this case, you might want to try this
DisableLogBuffering

take note of the performance issue. good luck.

I would like to be able to see the requests coming into the web server in near real-time, but I don't want to have to install an ISAPI filter to intercept requests. I figured the only good way was to read the log files, but they don't get updated frequently enough. With IIS7 you can run the command "Netsh http flush logbuffer" and it will flush the logs to the hard drive. Is there any way to do this with IIS6, either command line or through a com object?

Thanks

There's metabase key for that... LogBufferSize

I also believe there's another key that control the flush interval - which is 1 min. Now, why do you need to flush log immediately? and how do you do this in IIS 7?

Flushing IIS logs to disk

Hi,

I would like to flush the IIS 6.0 logs to disk, without having to wait for the next 64k chunk to be hit, and without using iisreset. I know this can be done in IIS 7.0, but I was wondering if it can be done in IIS 6.0, by using a command line application, com object or anything else.

Thanks,

Jon
