An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find many files inside the log. It is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, pics, etcetera. These files will be listed in the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your website functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, Internet browser and OS. Additional information, including the referrer website, is typically supplied too. A log file may be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats created by your server.
