I have an IIS server that is sending logs to splunk, and the logs are saved in w3c format. but I found that logs are save in UTC time format. and only IIS format can save logs in local time but there is no parser for IIs.

 

if someone have integrated IIS do let me know

Hi, I have installed the add on on search head and indexers, but it is not working.

I am using 1st log format which w3c.

 

The time in w3c is UTC, but we need it in gtm+3.

Can you tell me which format your are ingesting from these examples.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/iis/6.0-sdk/ms525807(v=vs.90)

#Software: Internet Information Services 6.0 
#Version: 1.0 
#Date: 2001-05-02 17:42:15 
#Fields: time c-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem sc-status cs-version 
17:42:15 172.16.255.255 GET /default.htm 200 HTTP/1.0

OR

192.168.114.201, -, 03/20/01, 7:55:20, W3SVC2, SALES1, 172.21.13.45, 4502, 163, 3223, 200, 0, GET, /DeptLogo.gif, -, 
172.16.255.255, anonymous, 03/20/01, 23:58:11, MSFTPSVC, SALES1, 172.16.255.255, 60, 275, 0, 0, 0, PASS, /Intro.htm, -,

 

Once you confirm which format someone should be able to provide a recommended props.conf for the ingested sourcetype.

Ofcourse you could opt for the app from Splunk base which looks to be very complete for IIS server logs.
