2. Under Sites, right-click the Web site for which you want to enable logging and select Properties.

Tip 

If the right-click menu does not contain a Properties option, select the Web site and click Logging.

3. From the Format drop-down, select W3C and click Select Fields.

Tip 

The following path contains a sub-folder for each service running on IIS (e.g. FTPSVC1 or W3SVC1): 

C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles

To define a schedule for collection of log messages from the Log Source, enter the full path of each service to be collected by TLC in the File Collection tab of the Monitored Asset properties dialog (see Table 48).
