An access log is a text file containing an extensive 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 program and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find plenty of files inside the log. It is because there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, graphics, etc. These files shall be listed within the access log, so you're able to get a complete picture of the way your Internet site functions. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are often referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and OS. More information, including the referrer website, is sometimes provided too. A log file could be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics provided by your server.
