Cause I want to do some custom stuff. Do you know of any stuff done using
ASP?

can i just read the log files using asp?

Change the logging to go to a DSN (eg. to SQL Server) and then just do
standard ADO database access to read and use the logs? Not sure how this
might impact a heavily loaded site? But .. I suppose it's gotta log
somewhere so it may as well be a database (if the indexes are set
correctly).
NB: If you wanna create a unique incrementing ID field for the log then
place it at the end of the table so that the DSN write from IIS doesn't
break (I think it uses field indexes as opposed to names for some reason but
I'm not 100% sure on that yet).

You could use the FSO and parse the log files yourself

Analog is Perl, code is provided.
