Guys! Thanks both for taking the time to respond! So, if I understand this 
correctly I could use default IIS logging and go with Jesus suggestion - 
this would require updating the OSSEC binaries though, correct? as you 
suggest Brent, having a look at the logging settings in IIS makes sense 
regardless. Provided I'm able to update the logging, what decoder settings 
should I use? Go with Jesus', or is the stuff I cooked up worth pursuing? 

Thanks again!

Best regards,
Fredrik
