I have a number of reports in WLE, we use a filter for applications in the wwwroot folder. One of our dev's decided to create an app outside of that folder. What filter do I need to use to pull the data from the IIS logs for this? for apps in wwwroot I used the filter /appname/* that doesn't work for this app though. it's location is \inetpub\wwwprojects\.

The File filter works by matching file paths specified in the logs. They usually depend on their location on disk, but exact paths depend on site settings.

I recommend you to check how the files for the site are shown in the logs. The simplest way to do it is just to analyze your log files and check how files from that site are shown here, and then use an appropriate match (without domain) like /site/*
