An access log is a text file containing a thorough report on all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a site visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find many files inside the log. This is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, graphics, and so on. These files shall be listed within the access log, so you're able to get a full picture of the way your Internet site functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently described as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. Additional information, like the referrer site, is typically included too. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your server.
