Using Log Parser Studio to Find Common 500 Errors

The following Log Parser Studio query will find common erroring URLs. You could adapt this to find common addresses for other status codes too.

SELECT TOP 20
    cs-uri-stem, 
    COUNT(*) AS Total, 
    MAX(time-taken) AS MaxTime, 
    AVG(time-taken) AS AvgTime
FROM
    '[LOGFILEPATH]'
WHERE
    date > SUB(TO_LOCALTIME(SYSTEM_TIMESTAMP()), TIMESTAMP('0000-01-02 00:00', 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm'))
AND
    sc-status = '500'
GROUP BY
    cs-uri-stem
ORDER BY
    Total DESC

Web Log Importer

If you are using Web Log Importer, you can get the same information using the following query:

SELECT TOP 20
    cs_uri_stem, 
    COUNT(1) AS Total, 
    MAX([time_taken]) AS MaxTime, 
    AVG([time_taken]) AS AvgTime
FROM
    LogEntry
WHERE
    [date] = '2020-03-10'
AND
    [sc_status] >= 500
GROUP BY
    [cs_uri_stem]
ORDER BY
    COUNT(1) DESC
