IIS logs via network share - Page 1 | Log collection solutions

Hi,

is it possiable to access IIS logs located on a network share?

for example, right now I'm using:

Module im_file
File "D:\\Logs\\W3SVC1\\u_ex*"
SavePos TRUE

and it works.

But if i change it to:

Module im_file
File "\\netapp-ams-cifs\\IISlogs\\Trader1\\W3SVC1\\u_ex*"
SavePos TRUE

i see an error on the nxlog saying: ERROR failed to open directory: \netapp-ams-cifs\IISlogs\Trader1\W3SVC1: The system cannot find the path specified.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

You probably want \\netapp-ams-cifs\... which would be

File "\\\\netapp-ams-cifs\\..."

File '\\netapp-ams-cifs\...'

Note that \\ translates to \ in double quoted strings.
