ISAPI properties reference
When you install the Multicast and Advertisement Logging Agent ISAPI logging extension (Wmsiislog.dll), Windows Media Services creates the following registry key in the registry of the computer:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media\Server\ISAPI\Logging
You can use Registry Editor to modify the registry key properties for the ISAPI logging extension. The following table provides information about the registry key property values:
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
FreeSpaceQuota |
REG_DWORD |
Specifies the minimum amount of available disk space on the hard disk to which log files are being written. The default value is 10 percent. If the amount of free disk space is less than the specified value, the ISAPI logging extension will stop logging until more disk space is made available. You can specify values between 0 and 100. |
LogDirPath |
REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Specifies the directory where log files are written. The default value is %windir%\LogFiles\WMS_ISAPI. If you change the logging directory path from the default value, you must grant the Network Service account Read, Write, and Modify permissions to the new directory. |
UseLocalTime |
REG_DWORD |
Specifies the time zone (local or UTC) to use. A nonzero value indicates that local time is used. |
UseUnicode |
REG_DWORD |
Specifies whether the log file should contain Unicode (UTF-8) or ANSI text. A nonzero value indicates that Unicode is used. |
Warning
Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.
Note
If you move the ISAPI logging extension to another Web server for logging, you must manually register it on the server by typing regsvr32 wmsiislog.dll at the command prompt. If this application is used on a Web server without being registered, it will use the default values.
