An access log contains a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your site. The log, that is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics that you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you might need such a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.
