Web server logs do not have records of "open" requests -- they only
show completed ones (including status code). So any requests that have
not been fulfilled at the time the server shuts down will not be
recorded.

In addition, because the server holds the files open and file writing
is often cached, it's possible that if the server is not cleanly
restarted, the most recent requests before shutdown will not be
recorded either.

There is not real way of knowing from the web server logs when the
server was restarted. It might be possible to parse them for periods
of inactivity, but Analog does not do that. (Well, the Five-Minute
Report might show that, actually.)

The best place to look for information about server and service
restarts on Windows is in the System and Application Event Logs.
