How to I enable Failed Request Tracing in IIS 10.0 on my Windows 10 dev pc?
I can find instructions for IIS7 and IIS8.5 (see http://www.iis.net/learn/troubleshoot/using-failed-request-tracing/troubleshooting-failed-requests-using-tracing-in-iis-85) but doesn't seem to be available in IIS10.
According to above instructions there should be a link to "Failed Request Tracing" under "Configure" in the Actions pane - but see in screen shot it is clearly not there: screen shot of IIS Actions pane
In the Server Manager hierarchy pane, expand Roles, and then click Web Server (IIS). In the Web Server (IIS) pane, scroll to the Role Services section, and then click Add Role Services. On the Select Role Services page of the Add Role Services Wizard, select Tracing, and then click Next.
The instructions should work exactly the same since the UI has not changed. Make sure that you install Failed Request Tracing, for that run OptionalFeatures.exe and make sure that Tracing is enabled in the Internet Information Services->World Wide Web Services->Health and Diagnostics.
You can also add this feature by going to Start -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> Health and Diagnostics.
You can enable the tracing feature using this PowerShell command (Running as Administrator)
