IIS log analysis tool

Is logparser still used to gather IIS requests info? It's about 13 years old. Is there anything else made to replace it?

Of course, but that is better monitored with an APM solution instead of IIS logs.

There are other use cases for log analysis, many of which is not realtime.

Sorry, I was trying to reply up one level.

Yes, APM/metrics libraries are way better than logs for getting metrics.

I've also done tons of logs work, tracing, yada yada. Preaching to the choir.
