An access log is a text file which contains a full report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a website visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find a lot of files inside the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, graphics, and so forth. All these files will be listed inside the access log, so that you can get a detailed picture of the way your Internet site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently described as "raw data" too. An access log shows 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, Internet browser and OS. More information, such as the referrer website, is oftentimes supplied too. A log file may be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your web server.
