An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a given Internet site. Every single file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for each of the six files which were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually shows the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info which an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the functionality of an Internet site, independent of the web statistics your hosting server may have produced.
