SharePoint 2003 Activity Reporting

Question

We use SPS 2003 for our intranet. Is there a good tool for reporting on site activity from the IIS logs? I have tried WebTrends (old version) and Deep Log Analyzer. DLA uses MS Access so it can not hold all of the log data.

Thanks

Answer 1

Logparser is probably your best bet here - download here

I used it to analyze our sharepoint traffic (who was reading what articles, etc.).

Here's some good blog postings that walk you through:

Answer 2

I know you specifically asked about IIS data - but have you looked at the SharePoint Usage Analysis reports?
