Get IIS log location via powershell?
I found this to work for me since I want to know all of the sites log directory.
Import-Module WebAdministrationforeach($WebSite in $(get-website)) { $logFile="$($Website.logFile.directory)\w3svc$($website.id)".replace("%SystemDrive%",$env:SystemDrive) Write-host "$($WebSite.name) [$logfile]" }
Import-Module WebAdministration$sitename = "mysite.com"$site = Get-Item IIS:\Sites\$sitename$id = $site.id$logdir = $site.logfile.directory + "\w3svc" + $id
Thanks for Chris Harris for putting the website ID idea in my head. I was able to search around better after that and it led me to the WebAdministration module and examples of its use.
Nice... I updated your script a little bit to Ask IIS for the log file location.
param($website = 'yourSite')Import-Module WebAdministration$site = Get-Item IIS:\Sites\$website$id = $site.id$logdir = $site.logfile.directory + "\w3svc" + $id$time = (Get-Date -Format "HH:mm:ss"(Get-Date).addminutes(-30))# Location of IIS LogFile$File = "$logdir\u_ex$((get-date).ToString("yyMMdd")).log"# Get-Content gets the file, pipe to Where-Object and skip the first 3 lines.$Log = Get-Content $File | where {$_ -notLike "#[D,S-V]*" }# Replace unwanted text in the line containing the columns.$Columns = (($Log[0].TrimEnd()) -replace "#Fields: ", "" -replace "-","" -replace "\(","" -replace "\)","").Split(" ")# Count available Columns, used later$Count = $Columns.Length# Strip out the other rows that contain the header (happens on iisreset)$Rows = $Log | where {$_ -like "*500 0 0*"}# Create an instance of a System.Data.DataTable#Set-Variable -Name IISLog -Scope Global$IISLog = New-Object System.Data.DataTable "IISLog"# Loop through each Column, create a new column through Data.DataColumn and add it to the DataTableforeach ($Column in $Columns) { $NewColumn = New-Object System.Data.DataColumn $Column, ([string]) $IISLog.Columns.Add($NewColumn)}# Loop Through each Row and add the Rows.foreach ($Row in $Rows) { $Row = $Row.Split(" ") $AddRow = $IISLog.newrow() for($i=0;$i -lt $Count; $i++) { $ColumnName = $Columns[$i] $AddRow.$ColumnName = $Row[$i] } $IISLog.Rows.Add($AddRow) } $IISLog | select @{n="DateTime"; e={Get-Date ("$($_.date) $($_.time)")}},csuristem,scstatus | ? { $_.DateTime -ge $time }
