appcmd to check a config exists?

Question

I can run this command to add a custom log:

.\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /+"[name='MyWebSite'].logFile.customFields.[logFieldName='OriginalIP',sourceName='X-FORWARDED-FOR',sourceType='RequestHeader']" /commit:apphost

What command to I use to see if that config has already been set? There is no appcmd.exe get config -section...

Try something like

appcmd.exe list config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /text:*

Depending on what you want to check for, you will have to parse the output.

For more information, run

appcmd.exe /? config

But how can we parse this? Can we check also attribute value? – Basil Kosovan Jul 04 '19 at 15:57
