An access log is a text file that contains an extensive list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find a lot of files in the log. This is because there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other web pages, pictures, etc. All of these files shall be listed within the access log, so you can get a complete picture of the way your site performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes termed "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More info, including the referrer Internet site, is usually provided too. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your website hosting server.
