Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2005 2:34 am    Post subject: Tracking Document hits Reply with quote

I'm trying to track how often all of the documents in our sharepoint
site are accessed, but can't seem to figure out how. I've looked
through the IIS logs, but it doesn't appear that it stores the actual
document that is accessed. Is there anyway of doing this? The only
way I can think to do this is very bad (add a trigger to the docs
table).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are tracking Usage then you can use the reports provided in Frontpage
2003.

If you really want to know how many times a particular document has been
accessed, whether through the Managed or UnManaged path (i.e. the Browser or
WebFolders) then you are going to have to do something as the ISAPI level!

I am currently working on an audit piece for SharePoint that does exactly
that and logs further information in the IIS logs.

You wouldn't have any links or hints on how to do this, do you? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Depends on how could your C++ skills are. The ISAPI filter has to be
written in C++.

Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I will have a sample ready that shows you
how to do it.

I don't see the actual document from the document library being listed
in the IIS logs. I can see that an office document was hit, but the
name or path isn't in any of my logs. Am I missing something here?

You are not missing anything. Just try accessing a document from a
webfolder. All you will see in the IIS logs is the FPE call made by
OWSSVR.DLL or AUTHOR.DLL. That is where the ISAPI function can make sure
that more appropriate information is logged.
