IIS Logging

We are sending our IIS logs offsite for 90-day retention on-hand, and then further 365-day retention in archives. This adds up to over 350GB of logs per year for us, and is costing us a lot. We are doing this to meet PCI compliance.

We would like to cut down on our IIS logs without sacrificing security or compliance. From the list below, please list all non-essential items that we can cut. Thanks much.

These are not compressible as they need to be sent in either plain text or JSON for further analysis, monitoring, reporting, and trending for PCI compliance. We are sending them to loggly.com.
