Overview

IIS7 has an inbuilt FREB module which does the Failed Request tracing. Read more about FREB here http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=969&p=1. In a nutshell, it is similar to ETW tracing. It is now in-built (optional) functionality of IIS7. This will create XML files which will be stored in C:\Inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles\W3SVC*. * - website identifier. My module will give an UI interface to display all available files with their name, path, URL and status code.
