If you want to collect data from the counters, you will need to enable them on the machine you're running IIS on. Then the forwarder can index using the perfmon input: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Data/Real-timeWindowsperformancemonitoring#Configu...

If you only want client connections you could index the access log files (w3c format) with a monitor input instead.

Please clarify a bit:

  • Is this on Windows?
  • What kind of data are you trying to collect?
  • Do you have a Splunk Universal Forwarder installed on the client system?
