You are looking at the manual for Wusage 7.1. This product is three years old! Check out Wusage 8.0 and its remarkable new features.

To reach this option in the configuration file editor, follow these steps:

1. Edit Configuration
2. Date Format in IIS Logs (IIS Only)

If you prefer to manually edit your configuration files, use the following syntax for this option:

Example

msdateformat      dd-mm-yy, or mm/dd/yy, or dd-mm-yyyy, or...

Description

msdateformat is used to tell wusage exactly how dates in "standard" Microsoft IIS logs are formatted. If you are looking for a way to control how dates appear in reports, look at Date Format for Reports ^(dateformat) instead. You will be interested in this option if you use IIS versions prior to 4.0. In version 4.0, you can use the new extended log format, which does not require the use of this option.

In general, Wusage expects to see the day of the month where it sees dd, the month where it sees mm, and the year where it sees yy or yyyy. If yyyy is used, all four digits of the year are expected to appear (1998 rather than just 96). If the Date Format in IIS Logs (IIS Only) ^{(msdateformat)} option does not appear, wusage will assume that the IIS log date format is identical to the preferred report date format, which is set by the Date Format for Reports ^(dateformat) option.
