[Wilson Ojeda]

Exist any tool that permit to open and read the file transaction log ?

You can send the log to database, then you can make querys.
In the IIS Service manager, you can select Log File or Database.

Even if you don't set IIS to log to a database table, it logs to a text file
by default--and you can easily open and read that file yourself. There's an
explanation of the field values in the IIS documentation. If you're looking
for an existing reporting tool, there are a number of freeware, shareware
and commercial components available. Search Google for "IIS log ASP" for
more information.

Ok, but where can you find that text file?

[Russell Jones]

Here's how to find the log. Open the IIS adminstration program. Select your
web site from the list in the left pane. Right-click and select Properties.
On the Web Site tab, you'll see an "Enable Logging" checkbox. If it's
checked, you're logging. The Active log format dropdown tells you what type
of logging IIS is performing. You can find out where IIS stores log files by
clicking the Properties button, and selecting the General Properties tab. By
default, IIS uses this folder to store log files:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\LogFiles. IIS begins new log files according to the
schedule selected on that dialog. The schedule determines the frequency with
which IIS begins new log files. Note that the name of the current log file
depends on the frequency setting.
