IIS Log Server Bytes by Host over Time

  • Article

The IIS Log Server Bytes by Host over Time view Layout for Charts enables you to obtain a high-level view of specific data from an IIS log consisting of HTTP traffic volume in bytes over time. This Layout uses a Timeline visualizer component that plots byte volume data points in time, with reference to the Y-axis calibrated in bytes and the X-axis calibrated in time. The Layout includes a time slider control in the lower section of the Layout that enables you to zoom into a configured time window to create a focused analysis context. Several Zoom presets are also included, such as 30s, 1m, 30m, and All.

Using the IIS Log Server Bytes by Host over Time Layout

The data that displays in this Layout can give you a quick summary of the points in time where HTTP traffic volumes are the highest and how those volumes varied over the timeline. You can also perform the following actions to display the indicated data:

  • Host or site name — mouse-hover over a data line in the x-y coordinate domain of the graph to display the name of the host or site for which the data was collected.

  • Data points — single-click a line of data to expose the data points that exist at different times.

  • Log entries — double-click a data line to display all related log entries in the Analysis Grid viewer.

Along with the IIS Log Server Bytes by Host over Time view Layout, you might also consider using the Grouping viewer with the IIS Layout and the Analysis Grid viewer with the IIS Layout to achieve an integrated and interactive analysis context that can significantly enhance your analysis process.
