An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain site. Every single file that was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have one webpage with three embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the six files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log typically shows the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, worldwide web browser and IP address. Oftentimes you can also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your site. The info an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the functionality of an Internet site, aside from the web statistics that your web hosting server may have created.
