I would like to collect download statistics for certain URL's on an IIS webserver (for example #downloads/hour and total number of downloads). It would of course be very cool if we could insert these statistics into DataMiner, so we can use the full DataMiner power on this data.
I assume the raw statistics would need to be collected by a tool like awstats, which would then be polled/parsed by DataMiner.
Does something like this already exist?
IIS can log any site activity in log files, in IIS Manager it's possible to configure what exactly it should log (it's possible to log any http-header of a request and response). Tools like AWStats (which also works for IIS) gather these log files to build reports. DataMiner could do the same, a protocol could read the IIS log files and process them. I don't know if such a DataMiner protocol already exists.
