If you want to add my set of Log Parser Studio custom queries to your LPS library, follow these instructions…
Note: if you want to merge these with your existing queries, just copy the inner nodes into your LPS library file – if you just want to use my custom set without searching through the huge list of standard queries, you can overwrite your LPS library file.
You can find the LPS library file next to the LPS.exe file. It is called “LPSV2Library.XML”.
Many of these queries are adapted from the standard versions, and others will be particularly helpful if you…
- Use a load balancer and use X-Forwarded-For
- Run multiple hosts from a single IIS website
