An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a certain site. Every single file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have a single page with three embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the visitor opened the page. A log typically provides the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, Internet browser and IP address. Oftentimes you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The data that an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the efficiency of a site, aside from the web stats which your server may have created.
