An access log is a text file containing a full list of all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find many files inside the log. It is because there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, pics, and so on. All of these files will be listed inside the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your Internet site performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often termed "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. Additional information, like the referrer website, is sometimes included as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your server.
