An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain Internet site. Any file which was requested in some way shall be listed, so if you have just one webpage with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the six files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally provides the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your website. The information that an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, besides the web statistics which your server may have generated.
