Overview
This article covers how to configure IIS to log the HTTP fields necessary for applications handling university data. The guidelines documented here meet the requirements outlined in IT Standards for Data Classifications.
For configurations not behind a load balancer, the X-Forwarded-For header may be omitted.

Click OK
Step 6
Click "Add Field..." again to open the custom field dialog.
Enter "client-port" in the Field Name text box.

Click the Source dropdown and select REMOTE_PORT
Click OK.
Step 8
Scroll down the list of Standard Fields until you see Bytes Sent and Bytes Received. Check box boxes. Click OK to save the logging configuration.
