An access log is a text file that contains an extensive list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find many files in the log. The reason is that there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, pictures, and so on. All these files will be listed inside the access log, so you're able to get a complete picture of the way your site performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently called "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer website, is oftentimes supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your website hosting server.
