The Sumo Logic App for IIS 7 consists of Dashboards that give you instant access to your system overview, including errors, requests and response time, traffic insights, and visitor insights.

Install the Sumo Logic App

Now that you have set up collection for IIS 7, install the Sumo Logic App for IIS 7 to use the preconfigured searches and dashboards that monitor log events generated by IIS 7.

To install the app, do the following:

Locate and install the app you need from the App Catalog. If you want to see a preview of the dashboards included with the app before installing, click Preview Dashboards.

From the App Catalog, search for and select the app.
Select the version of the service you're using and click Add to Library.

To install the app, complete the following fields.
1. App Name. You can retain the existing name, or enter a name of your choice for the app. 
2. Data Source. Select either of these options for the data source. 
  - Choose Source Category, and select a source category from the list. 
  - Choose Enter a Custom Data Filter, and enter a custom source category beginning with an underscore. Example: (_sourceCategory=MyCategory). 
3. Advanced. Select the Location in Library (the default is the Personal folder in the library), or click New Folder to add a new folder.
Click Add to Library.

Once an app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder, or other folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with your organization.

Panels will start to fill automatically. It's important to note that each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results won't immediately be available, but with a bit of time, you'll see full graphs and maps.

Dashboard filters

Each dashboard has a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard, as shown in the following example. Click the funnel icon in the top dashboard menu bar to display a scrollable list of filters that are applied across the entire dashboard.

Each panel has a set of filters that are applied to the results for that panel only, as shown in the following example. Click the funnel icon in the top panel menu bar to display a list of panel-specific filters.
