UTC time stamp in IIS W3C log

Avatar

Our site is hosted in an IIS server. And by default, it generates W3C logs. The logs work fine with WebLog Expert, but the only unhappy thing with W3C log is their well-known standardized UTC time stamp - and we are in the +8 time zone!!!

It seems to us there is only two solutions - change W3C format to IIS format, or use convlog.exe to manipulate the time stamps. Definitely the former sounds bad - we are not going to give up WebLog Expert (and seems it doesn't support native IIS log format). The latter sounds impracticable too. Is there any get-around to this problem? Or we can configure the Weblog Expert to handle this problem?

It is real tiring to deal with log and analytic issues for a few months...

WebLog Expert converts time from log files to local time zone by default so there shouldn't be problems with it. You can also change time zone settings in the program in Options > Analysis > Date & Time.
