These are DLL files that can be used to modify and enhance the functionality provided by IIS. This filters always run on an IIS server, filtering every request until they find one they need to process. The ability to examine and modify both incoming and outgoing streams of data makes this powerful and flexible.

Back 8

ISAPI (Internet Server Application Program Interface)

Front 10

Is a Health And Diagnostic Feature of IIS which provides logging of Web site activity for this server. When a loggable event (usually an HTTP transaction) occurs, IIS calls the selected logging module, which then writes to one of the logs stored in the file system of the Web server. These logs are kept in addition to those provided by the operating system.

Back 10

HTTP Logging

Front 11

This Health and Diagnostic Feature of IIS provides infrastructure to diagnose and troubleshoot Web applications. By using failed request tracing, you can troubleshoot difficult to capture events like poor performance or authentication-related failures. This feature buffers trace events for a request and only flushes them to disk if the request falls into a user-configured error condition.
