An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is thorough, so in case you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually 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 good idea about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, that is also typically named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you might need this type of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site statistics.
