This pattern is useful when IIS log parsing belongs inside an application, test, or service.

It is adapted from IISParser.Tests/ParserEngineTests.cs.

Example

using IISParser;

var logPath = Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, "samples", "u_ex230101.log");

using var parser = new ParserEngine(logPath)
{
    MaxFileRecord2Read = 50000
};

foreach (var record in parser.ParseLog())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{record.Timestamp:o} {record.UriPath} {record.StatusCode}");
}

What this demonstrates

• using the library without PowerShell
• setting a maximum record count for predictable processing
• consuming typed IIS log records
