IIS7 - Administration Pack

Simon here from niknak.org :)

I've not been able to use a machine with IIS7 to test with yet so whether or not it works is a bit of an unknown. The code queries the metabase for the location of each sites log files so should work if they are not in the 'standard' location, although may not work for UNC paths (not tested).

It's not doing anything that clever, as has been rightly pointed out it's really just a pretty GUI for LogParser so I could view the bandwidth usage information quickly and easily. Everything it does can be achieved with standard queries to LogParser, which I assume still works against IS7?

The source code is available if you would like to tinker or if you're happy to do some testing on IIS7 for me that would also be appreciated! I am in the (admitedly slow) process of porting the code to .NET 3.5 and C# as well as moving it to CodePlex. Look out for an update over the next month or two :)

Thanks!

I don't know the usefulness of it as part of the admin pack.

This tool looks like it uses the loggs in a given dirwectory and it passes throggh the log parser.

So as the minimum Log parser will have to be install and configured.

And many would not have there log file even on the same machine, etc.

All that said. I doesn't look to difficult to knock something up in logparser to do something similiar.

Does this tool not work in IIS 7 then? I didn't realise that much changed with teh log file format setup?! Maybe you could contact the author for a quick fix.

Hi,

Does anyone knows a custom report for monitoring volume traffic (ie Bytes sent/received) from each website on IIS7 ?

Simon Hoade (niknak.org) wrote a simular tool and I wonder if this could be done in IIS7 Administration Pack. http://niknak.org/software/IIsTrafficMonitor
