Fill in ZIP
Files Older Than (Hours) section, — 168 (1 week), for example.
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.

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.

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.
