The W3C log is a log file format used by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to store log data. The format is based on the Common Log Format (CLF) and uses a space-separated format. The W3C log format is used by a number of web servers, including the Apache HTTP Server.
The W3C log format consists of a number of fields, each of which is separated by a space. The fields are:
* timestamp: The date and time of the request, in the format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss".
* request method: The request method used, such as "GET" or "POST".
* request URI: The requested URI, such as "/index.html".
* HTTP version: The HTTP version used, such as "HTTP/1.1".
* response code: The HTTP response code, such as "200" for a successful request.
* content length: The length of the response content, in bytes.
The W3C log format is a useful format for storing web server log data. It is easy to parse and can be used with a variety of tools for analysis and reporting.
How do I enable W3C logging?
Enabling W3C logging is a two-step process.
First, you need to edit the log file format template. The template is a text file that controls what information is written to the log file. The template is stored in the %SystemRoot%System32Inetsrv directory, and it is named W3C-template.log by default. You can edit the template by using a text editor, such as Notepad.
The second step is to enable logging by using the IIS Manager console. To do this, follow these steps:
1. In IIS Manager, double-click the local computer, right-click the Sites folder, and then click Properties.
2. On the Sites tab, click the website for which you want to enable logging, and then click Edit.
3. In the Active log format list, click W3C Extended Log File Format, and then click Properties.
4. In the Extended log file properties dialog box, click Select Fields.
5. In the W3C Extended Logging Fields dialog box, click to select the check boxes for the fields that you want to log, and then click OK twice.

What is JSON logging?
JSON logging is a method of logging data in which data is stored in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. JSON logging allows for data to be stored in a more structured format than traditional logging methods, such as syslog. JSON logging can be used to log data from a variety of sources, such as application servers, web servers, and database servers.
