Well, I have a project that someone here might have done before.

I have several IIS webservers that I need to parse and graph the log files for. What I am going to do is send all of the IIS log files to a Windows server and once a day have those files be uploaded to a Ubuntu Linux server I have set up. I need a software package to take those IIS files and parse them and put the information on a webpage setup in Apache. I would like the webpage to have links to each website's information from the files. From there I will create a script to compress the files and move them off the server to an archive type database.

Anyone do this before?

Hi LinuxHacker,

Microsoft has a Log Parser tool which can be downloaded.

Good reading on use of it here: Forensic Log Parsing with Microsoft's LogParser.

Have fun!

To write a customized log parser and create HTML using info from the parsed log, you can start with the open source script posted here - http://www.biterscripting.com/SS_WebLogParser.html .
