I am trying to use some software (WebTrends) to track all my Excel
downloads from my SharePoint portal with no luck. It looks like my IIS
log files are not writing out the downloads made to these file types.
Is there anything I need to do in IIS to get it to write this to the
log files?

Hi,

SharePoint is logging document access data into separate log files from IIS.
This files are called STS log files, but you must set SharePoint to log this
information’s. That can be done though SharePoint Central Administration Page
-> Component Configuration (Group) -> Configure usage analysis processing ->
(Check) Enable Logging
From these STS log files (C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\STS\<GUID>), you can
use some custom software (on Microsoft site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/odc_SP2003_ta/html/ODC_WSSUsageEventLogging.asp
) to parse them to CSV log files. After that you can analyze them. The <GUID>
represents the portal in multiportal scenario.

Also see LogParser, it is a powerful tool for parsing logs, input them to
database, create charts and etc. (
