Edit a Tracing Rule for Failed Requests (IIS 7)

  • Article

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista

Change the settings for failed request tracing when you want to change the failure definitions for a rule. Change the settings, also, when you want to collect different information about a failed request, for example, when you want to change the length of response time allowed for a request before it is considered a failed request.

Note

Editing a configuration setting changes the setting at the local level and for any child levels that inherit the setting.
