An access log features a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is detailed, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the web 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 popular files on your site. The log, which is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics that you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you could need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.
