An access log features a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is thorough, so when you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically contains the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, that is also often named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An example why you could need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.
