Is it possible to change IIS W3C timezone?

Question

As I understand, the default timezone for IIS logging W3C, is UTC/GMT. Is it possible to permanently change it? or I will have to convert it manually each time?

thanks

Answer 1

As far as I remember, you can change the formats:

• W3C - records the logs in UTC
• IIS - records the logs in local time
• NCSA - records the logs in local time

Answer 2

Change Log File Format to IIS, which records the logs in local time.

If you don't want to change Log File Format, another way is to query the log using Log Parser Lizard with the following script:

SELECT TOP 100 to_localtime(to_timestamp(date,time)) AS localtime, *
FROM 'C:\inetpub\logs\W3SVC\*.log'
