An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually includes the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, which is also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you might need this type of a log is if you would like to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.
