An access log is a text file which contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find many files in the log. The reason is that there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, images, etc. All these files shall be listed inside the access log, so you're able to get a detailed picture of the way your website performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, including the referrer site, is typically provided as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your server.
