We use LogParser http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=890cd06b-abf8-4c25-91b2-f8d975cf8c07&displaylang=en. Basic setup is LogParser in a batch script run by a scheduled job. There are a lot of examples for LogParser out there to load up the IIS log.

Hello Old Hand,

Regarding your LogParser Jobs,

Are You running and importing on the same server?

I'm trying to run on Server1, and read on Server2.

I get denied access when the LogParser, on Server 1 tries to read the files on Server 2. Those files are the IIS log files on Server 2.

Server 2 is my high availability Web Hosting and Data Server.

If I Have Server 1 process a file locally to itself, it works.

I got it to work by Granting access on the folder to the Network Service account.

Doing that on the Server2 doesn't help.

Any ideas on what I should try?

Thanks,

rwiethorn

We run the process on the server that logs are located on and write them into our db server which is a different server. Check the documentation on how to connect to SQL via either SQL login or Windows authentication. I believe you just need to get your security settings correct on the database server and the connection info fed into the LogParser command.
