An access log is a text file which contains a thorough list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a site visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find plenty of files in the log. The reason is that there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, graphics, etcetera. All of these files will be listed within the access log, so you're able to get a complete picture of the way your Internet site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally 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, along with the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More information, including the referrer Internet site, is oftentimes provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your server.
Access Log Manager in Hosting
If you buy a hosting from our company, you will be able to choose if access logs have to be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You'll be able to enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each and every domain name you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can conveniently enable or disable the generation of access logs independently for every single website that you have. You could save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the exact same section of the CP. The link is available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than a couple of clicks to activate the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function could be activated from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done independently for each and every domain name or subdomain which you have inside your account. After you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. A single click shall trigger the log generation and a second one shall disable it, so you can control this feature with great convenience. A Download link in the same section will allow you to save the created content as a text file, which you can then use on your computer. Even if the logs are disabled, you'll still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
