IIS Logs

The Internet Information Service (IIS) logs every request it handles.

Those logs could be useful when the TSS, Console or Component Manager is not able to log properly or when a request is made to another application on the server such as Ftp or Http outside of IPTrade routes, especially when suspecting a cyber-attack on the server.

It is only a few bytes per request, but knowing that an IPTrade turret is performing at least one request per minute, at the end of the day it makes a huge amount of data. As Microsoft didn't implement a rotation mechanism, it is the administrator's responsibility to clean them up periodically; Either manually or using a scheduled task.

With the default configuration, they can be found in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1; one new file is created every day.
