  Re: Flushing IIS logs to disk Reply Contact There's metabase key for that... LogBufferSize http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/60a90c91-a8d0-43b6-89db-a431d0ea0cb4.mspx?mfr=true 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?

  Re: Flushing IIS logs to disk Reply Contact 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?
