An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is detailed, so when you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, which is also typically named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you may need this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

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. As soon as you sign in to your cloud hosting account and go to this section, you shall 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 every single domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you will see a download link as well as the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your personal computer and examine it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect right away, so if you don't require one, you could stop it with just a click from the same exact section of the Control Panel. You'll still be able to access the already developed content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than a few mouse clicks to activate the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The feature may be enabled via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this could be done separately for each and every domain or subdomain you have inside your account. Once you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. A single click will trigger the log generation and another one shall disable it, so you can control this function with great efficiency. A Download link in the same section will permit you to save the generated content as a text file, which you could then use on your personal computer. Even when the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
