Cannot find IIS8 HTTP Logs
We searched around stackoverflow and other resources and could not find a way to find the IIS http logs. We found logs but they don't contain any visitor IP addresses. Where can we get this?

Hi Michael, we've already enabled everything you mentioned but there are no log files that contains IP addresses, Referrers, visit path, etc.. It's just some random log files.
IIS logs are usually stored by default in the C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles. You can choose another location and set format of your log files in the IIS Manager:
1. Open your server or site in the IIS manager.
2. Double-click the "Logging" icon.
3. Choose "W3C" as the active log format. You can also select another log location if you wish.
4. Click the "Select Fields" button to open the "W3C Logging Fields" dialog and use it to set the logged fields. It is better to select all the fields. You can also find list of fields support by WebLog Expert now at http://www.weblogexpert.com/help/wlex...
