An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular website. Each and every file which was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have a single webpage with 3 embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for any of the six files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log normally shows the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info that an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the functionality of a website, in addition to the web stats that your server may have generated.
