3.Right-click the Web site or FTP site, and click Properties.

By default, Enable Logging is selected and the format is W3C Extended Log File Format, with the following fields enabled for logging: Time, Client IP Address, Method, URI Stem, and HTTP Status. Select the items that you want to monitor in the log, leaving the defaults unless you want to customize your monitoring.NOTE: If the format you select is ODBC logging, click Properties and then type the data source name and the name of the table that is within the database in the text boxes. If a user name and password are required to access the database, type these also and click OK.
