Configure View Activities Monitoring (Manual Mode Only)

Note: The following step can be skipped when automatic IIS log configuration is enabled in the Add New Application Wizard.

Enable Host field logging on all Front-end IIS servers. For each Web Application in each Front-end server:

1. Open the IIS management console.

2. Locate the SharePoint Web Application site in the IIS.

3. Open the "Logging" options on the IIS management console.

4. Click Select Fields to open the Logging sub-window.

   

5. Select cs-host to select the field.

   

6. Click Apply under Action so the changes will take effect.

Note: If the CS-host field was not defined for logging before, View events might take a few hours to start collecting. To make the connector start collecting new view events, stop the IIS, delete the last IIS log file and start the IIS again.

Important: When running in a SharePoint farm with multiple Front-end servers, create a dedicated share on each Front-end for each Web Application IIS log directory, and give Read permissions to the user defined in the Permissions section above to access the share. These shares must be configured manually in the Application Configuration Wizard, as described in chapter Adding a SharePoint Application.
