An access log is a text file that contains an extensive list of all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find a lot of files in the log. It is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other web pages, images, and so forth. These files shall be listed inside the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your Internet site functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "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 OS. More info, like the referrer Internet site, is typically supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your web server.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be exceptionally simple if you acquire a cloud web hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you'll find the access logs as well. As you navigate there, you'll see a list of all the domain names hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our customized cloud hosting platform shall start creating an access log for any of them as early as you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as easy and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button inside the exact same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can effortlessly save and manage them on your PC or notebook.

When you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. One click will trigger the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great efficiency. 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'll still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
