An access log is a text file which contains a thorough list of all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find numerous files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, pictures, and so on. These files will be listed within the access log, allowing you to get a full picture of the way your Internet site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes termed "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. More info, like the referrer Internet site, is oftentimes included too. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your web server.
