An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a given Internet site. Any file that was requested for whatever reason shall 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 will contain a total of six entries - one for any of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log typically contains the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to write reports on the efficiency of a site, aside from the web stats your server may have created.
