6. Select the Time Zone from the dropdown menu and enter the desired Monitoring Interval.
Note: The time-zone selected must be the same as that of the IIS server. Also, EventLog Analyzer uses port 445 (TCP) to read IIS log files using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.

8. Click on + Add Sites. From the list of discovered sites, choose the sites you wish to monitor

IIS Configuration Change Logs

Configuration change logs are collected in the IIS similar to how logs are collected for Windows. These logs are collected through the Microsoft-IIS-Configuration/Operational event source file.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure that configuration log has been successfully configured. If not, you must configure it.
2. The device that has been configured must be enabled. This can be done in the Manage Devices tab.
3. Ensure that the Microsoft-IIS-Configuration/Operational option is enabled in the configure event source file for the device. This option can be enabled in the Manage Devices tab.
4. The Configuration log monitoring credential provided must have the WMI access.
