Can I run the web reports under IIS?

Yes, it is possible to use IIS as a front end to the Web Reports. IIS can receive requests and delegate them back to our Web Reports instance running on a custom port.

1. Install Application Request Routing (ARR)

You can obtain the installer for the ARR (IIS7+) extension at https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing.

2. Create Server Farm

Open the IIS Manager (inetmgr) tool, right click on the Server Farms section and select Create Server Farm. This can be named EventSentry.

3. Configure ARR

Just enter the IP address of your machine. Please also make sure that you change the port number in the configuration to match the port number where the Web Reports instance is listening for requests. The port number settings are hidden under the Advanced Settings... link. In my case the Web Reports were listening on port 8080. Then click Add.

4. Add Rules
On this page click the Routing Rules icon. Click on Add Rule(s)... link on the right side. On clicking the link it would ask you about what type of rule template you want to start with and select the Blank rule under the Inbound rules section and click OK. Then click Apply.

5. Test the routes

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost If everything is configured correctly you should see the Web Reports.
