The ossec.conf (or agent.conf) needs to be told where to look for the IIS log 
files. Moving them from "%windir%\system32\LogFiles" to a more "friendly" 
location is pretty common.

Hi George,



        I should be seeing IIS log entries going to alerts.log shouldn't I?
        
        


Not sure if you meant it like this, but you will not see log entries going to 
alerts.log.  You will only see alerts based on your IIS log in the alerts.log 
file.  Meaning, if your IIS logs do not contain any events that are generating 
alerts, then you will not see anything in alerts.log.

Also, you need to have the IIS rules set in your ossec.conf (should be enabled 
by default)
