An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your Internet site. The log, which is also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An illustration why you may require this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web stats.
