Where can I view Web Deployment history?

Question

I'm managing a third party vendor that uses Microsoft Web Deploy to push an ASP.NET website to our server. Is there somewhere I can find a history of where/when the files were published?

According to the MS Docs, Web Deploy automatically logs to the event log at Applications > Microsoft Web Deploy, but when I look there I don't see anything related to Web Deploy.

PS - I know that I can look at the timestamp on the app's folder in our filesystem, but that only gives me the time of the very last change, and not who made it...

Update - Under Event Viewer > Application and Service Logs > Microsoft > Microsoft Web Deploy, I can see history of web deployments that encountered an error, but I do not see a history of successful deployments.

Answer 1

I know this is old, but I found this while looking for the solution myself and stumbled upon the full log.

Instead of directly going to the Web Deploy folder in the event view, navigate to Event Viewer -> Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WebDeploy. From there you can view ConnectionInfo to review successful deployments

Answer 2

I found this in %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\logs\WMSvc. Timestamp, AD username, and sitename published. All I needed!
