An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is detailed, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your site. The log, that's also often named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An illustration why you may need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site stats.
