An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log usually contains the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your website. The log, that is also frequently named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you might need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
Our custom-built Hepsia CP has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. When you sign in to your cloud hosting account and go to this section, you will find a list of all the domains and subdomains which you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to click on a button that will be available next to each domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you shall see a download link along with the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your PC and look at it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you no longer need one, you can stop it with just a mouse click from the very same section of the CP. You shall still be able to access the already created content by simply clicking on the Download link.
