Enable Logging on the IIS server
IIS logging can be configured at the site or service levels. For more detailed information, see Configure Logging in IIS on Microsoft Docs.
Open IIS Manager, which can be accessed from the Tools menu in the Server Manager or from Administrative Tools.
In the Connections, the pane on the left, select the server or site for which to configure logging. Select a server to configure logging server-wide, or a site to configure logging for that specific site.
Double-click the Logging icon in the centre pane.
...
4. Modify the logging configuration as required. The W3C format is recommended.
...
The resulting logs can be collected by NXLog as shown in the following sections.
Verification

On Windows server using NXLOG Utility
When issues arise while configuring or maintaining an NXLog instance, a stepwise troubleshooting approach (moving from the most likely and simple cases to the more complex and rare ones) generally yields favourable results. The first step is always to inspect the internal log which NXLog generates.
...
If this directive is not specified, internal logging is disabled.
