I am pushing all of my log files from all of my servers into Loggly, the problem is IIS doesnt log the site name as it appears in IIS but rather W3SVC+ID as the application name, as all of these a different when deployed using the deployment agent to setup a new server and cannot get the logs to correlate

Do you have way for me to set the IIS site ID on first deployment ?

Regards

Jonathan

   Hi Jonathan,

   IIS 7.x configuration is basically a set of XML files. You can easily modify it in deploy.ps1 added to your deployment package: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.applicationhost/sites/sit... - there are multiple command line examples.

   I'm not sure if those settings could be overridden in application web.config: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httplogging

   I wasnt refering to the logging side of things, this was more having the same setup on each machine, this would mean having all sites having matching IIS site ids

   Will take a look if this number could be set through API.

   Jonathan,

   We've published an updated Deployment Agent:
   http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/agent#installing

   It supports site_id setting now:
   http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/agent#deploying-website

   Let me know how that worked.
