IIS ext-log question

Wooops...I meant log visits. Not index this resource. I
have been working with Indexing Service the last few
days...

The User Agent field captures that.

Place all of your graphics in an "images" folder, and in the IIS Management
console just uncheck the "log visits" box.

Hello,

The browser can be logged, not sure though if it is by default. It is logged
as cs(User-Agent), which includes the OS and other things. Your log analyser
should be able to get the browser out from this information.
If it is not logged in your logfile, in IIS Manager, right click the website
and click Properties. On the "Web Site" tab, click the Properties button.
Click the "Extended Properties" tab.

It is possible that a client OS such as Windows XP do not offer this to be
logged.

No, you cannot remove requests for image files in the log. IIS logs all
requests, which includes imagefiles. Your log analyser should be able to
omit certain file types you do not want to be included in the report.

And keep in mind that many browsers lie...

This is not recommended. Instead, any decent log analysis software should be
able to exclude requests from being analysed.

I'm curious why you suggest it's not recommended. It's been a fairly
standard practice for many sites for years.
