Select Enable ZIP Feature,
Optionally, Select Delete Original Log File After Zipped,
Fill in ZIP
Files Older Than (Hours) section, — Personally I use 168 (1 week).
If this is the first time configuring IISLogs to ZIP files, you’ll be
prompted to agree to the
ZIP Feature Policy Agreement. This is an explicit agreement the person
configuring
has tested IISLogs in a non-production environment or is in process of
testing. Also
verifying backups are available to insure critical Log Files are available, if
needed.
Notice the Delete Original File After Zipped, by default IISLogs doesn’t remove the
original log file
and ONLY creates a zip file. We strongly recommend you verify the zip
files are able
to be extracted and/or recovered before enabling delete original file.
Click Next
If you want to enable the one of the four delete options through out IISLOGS,
you’ll be
prompted to agree to the Delete File Policy Agreement. Enabling
anyone of these
delete options for the first time will prompt you. Once you’ve agreed,
you’ll not be
prompted again. For me, I enable the Enable Delete Feature first and
have it delete files
older than 10 weeks old. this will vary depending on your policies.
Select Enable Delete Feature option, you’ll be prompted to agree to the
Delete File Policy Agreement. Read, chose Accept and click OK.
You’ll not be prompted
again.
Select Enable Delete Feature,
Fill in Delete Retention Period (hours) — Personally I
put 1688

This is a separate feature from IISLOGS, ONLY will DELETE files. This is feature to have the ability have some directories that are configured to zip and delete and others to have the option to JUST delete after a separate configurable delete parameter, just put a comma deleted list of directories to have their log files deleted separate from IISLogs core functionality I.E.(C:LogfileDir1,C:LogfileDir2,C:LogfileDir3) NO SPACES please.
Click Next
This feature ONLY will allow for monitoring the SMTP directories, normally under C:InetpubMailroot directory. This is a separate feature from IISLOGS and won’t ZIP files, files with extensions .BAD,.BDR,.BDP will ONLY be allowed to be deleted in the configured directories.
Select Mail Report, Note: the Mail User id and Mail Password fields are stored encrypted so they aren’t clear text in the config file.

ASP.NET returns a webservice in the form of the industry strandard, WSDL protocol. WSDL is an XML document that will tell the consumer what methods are available to be called, and can be considered a type of API. We can now test our webservice by clicking the Invoke button. Here is a screen shot of the first 3 rows of data that will be sent to the consumer.
