also added to the database and reported on. Some clients in the past (with the
SurfStats Log Analyzer product) reported that the database was empty when
there was only one 64 KB present and expected this information to be added to
the database. This is handled properly now, which means that log data written to
the last 64KB portion is reported on.
The default setting for ASP buffering is ON in IIS5/6. This causes the sc-bytes
field to be logged as 0. You should switch ASP buffering OFF to log this field. If
you do not do this, you will not be able to track bandwidth in reports on ASP files.
Log Time Period
In Internet Services Manager on the Extended Logging Properties screen (click
Properties on the Web Site tab for the Virtual Web Server.) you can set the Log
Time Period. The Log Time Period determines how frequently IIS will open up a
new log file. You can set any log time period, however it is recommended to use
the Daily option.
Please note that if you choose NOT to have the Log Time Period set to daily, the
SurfStatsLive automatic log file backup (which is set up in Server Administration)
will not work, meaning that the web server’s log files will not be moved to a
backup directory.

This guide is intended to help explain the concepts and operational issues of
