在 IIS Express 中配置日志文件字段

Question

I'm dealing with log files and calculating the traffic usage of each website. The default logging is missing my required fields ( cs-host , sc-bytes , cs-bytes ). While I'm able to change these configuration in Logging section of IIS which I can select the fields I want to include or exclude in my logging. I couldn't find any way to change these configuration for IIS Express. Is there anyway to define the fields I want to include in the log in IIS express?

Either using a GUI like the Logging in IIS configuration, Command line code, or just editing a configuration file?

I found the IIS Express logFile configuration but in there, but couldn't find anything about adding the fields there:

%userprofile%\\documents\\iisexpress\\config\\applicationhost.config

which has logFile configuration in SiteDefaults :

<siteDefaults>
    <logFile logFormat="W3C" directory="%IIS_USER_HOME%\Logs"/>
    <traceFailedRequestsLogging directory="%IIS_USER_HOME%\TraceLogFiles" enabled="true" maxLogFileSizeKB="1024" />
</siteDefaults>

To have a complete answer: you must first locate the applicationhost.config that corresponds to your site, and then edit the <logFile> section. It can either be defined in <siteDefaults> to apply the same settings to all sites, or it can be defined for each <site> section.

To configure the default categories, you can use the logExtFileFlags attribute:

The logExtFileFlags attribute can be one or more of the following values. If you specify more than one value, separate them with a comma (,).

In your case, you'll want Host , BytesRecv and BytesSent .

To add custom fields, you can use the <customFields> subsection.

Here's a complete example:

<logFile logFormat="W3C" directory="%AppData%\Microsoft\IISExpressLogs" 
 enabled="true" flushByEntryCountW3CLog="2" 
 logExtFileFlags="Host, BytesRecv, BytesSent">
  <customFields>
    <add logFieldName="custom-UUID" sourceType="RequestHeader" sourceName="UUID" />
  </customFields>
</logFile>
