An access log includes a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a page 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 web 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 website. The log, that's also frequently named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you might need this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.
