AspLogErrorRequests

  • Article

The AspLogErrorRequests property controls whether the Web server writes ASP errors to the application section of the Windows event log. ASP errors are written to the client browser and to the IIS log files by default.

AspLogErrorRequests is set to TRUE by default, and is modified by the AspErrorsToNTLog property in the following way:

  • If AspLogErrorRequests is set to FALSE, then ASP errors are not written to the Windows event log, regardless of the value of AspErrorsToNTLog.

  • If AspLogErrorRequests is set to TRUE, and if IIS fails to write an item to the IIS log file, the item is written to the Windows event log as a warning, regardless of the value of AspErrorsToNTLog.

  • If AspLogErrorRequests is set to TRUE and AspErrorsToNTLog is set to FALSE, then only the most serious ASP errors are sent to the Windows event log. Serious ASP error numbers are:

    100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 115, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 240, 241, and 242

  • If AspLogErrorRequests is set to TRUE and AspErrorsToNTLog is set to TRUE, then all ASP errors are written to the Windows event log.

Note

This property does not control logging requests to the IIS log files. For more information about logging requests, see the LogType and DontLog properties. Also, this property does not control IIS Event Messages, which are always sent to the Windows event log.

This property is a process-level property.
