IIS Tracking

[Zanstemic]

I'm looking to track user activites while on a website. Does IIS have logging
that can store user activity?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

It doesn't have "logging", but does have server log files which are usually available thru FTP or your host control panel

Depends how you define "activity" I suppose. Leaving aside the odder potential
definitions, yeah, you can configure IIS to log a good deal of information for each
request it recieves. You're then left with the task of analyzing this information.
I like Analog -- http://www.analog.cx/ -- for that task, myself.

Thanks for the information. We're looking to enable the information to be
stored in a database so we can manage the information easily.

Afaik, IIS only offers various text file formats for logs.

You can, of course, automate your database to suck'em up daily.

MS has a log file parser that can be automated for this type of activity
