An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find many files inside the log. It is because there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, and so forth. All of these files will be listed inside the access log, so that you can get a detailed picture of the way your website performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally termed "raw data" too. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. Additional information, like the referrer website, is usually included as well. A log file could be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics created by your hosting server.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The feature may be activated through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this can be done individually for each and every domain name or subdomain that you have in your account. Once you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click shall enable the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great convenience. A Download link within the same section will allow you to save the generated content as a text file, that you can then use on your PC. Even if the logs are disabled, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
