An access log is a text file which contains a complete report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find plenty of files in the log. The reason is that there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, images, etc. All of these files shall be listed inside the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your website functions. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently termed "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. More info, like the referrer site, is typically included as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats created by your hosting server.
