Why are the time stamps taken from the file change time for IIS?
For some reason, the _time for the ms:iis:auto events are taken from the file change/create time, which seems to be either the creation or the daily rotation time.
In the file itself the date/stamp look just fine -

We recently went through this and we found best luck with ms:iis:auto but we only had to install the TA on the forwarders and search heads, not the indexers

I believe we did install it everywhere but the trick was that the universal forwarder needed it.

A colleague said -
When it comes to the IIS TA, only one of the sourcetypes will actually work on the indexers whereas the second sourcetype needs to have either the TA or a separate props.conf deployed to the forwarder since it’s using INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS.
Deploying the full TA is overkill, IMO. Just need to throw in the following into a new props.conf for the forwarder and you’re all set.
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = w3c
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = date, time

agreed. The TA is not upto normal quality/standard
If you really wish, you can take the bits out of the TA and create your own and re-use the sourcetype.

how does your raw data look like? (or is the output above from raw file itself?)
