I've done this a while back in Visual FoxPro where this is rather a trivial task because you can import the comma delimited data easily into a database.

With .Net you're stuck reading hte data line by line and parsing the data as a string using Split. Not that difficult but reasonably easy to do as well. Once you have the data you can stick it into a database and summarize it fairly easily.

I've done some pretty useufl stuff with this like summarizing each page access and then allowing seeing the detail for each of the individual requests which is extremely useful in tracking attacks on your server and potentially blocking access.

>Currently, I track page hits, visits, referrers, etc by using a custom class created in VB.NET. I use the Request and Server objects to extract information per visit to my web application. It came to a point where I needed more information from each visit which led me to discovering the IIS logging feature of the IIS model. I'd like to know more info on this and if anyone out there can help point me to the right directions in researching this ability. Also, if someone out there has already created a parser for the IIS logs, it can really speed up my development. Thanks!
