An access log features a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is detailed, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually contains the date, the Operating System, the web 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 Internet site. The log, that is also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you may require such a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel includes a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are one of them. When you sign in to your cloud hosting account and take a look at this section, you will find a list of all the domain names and subdomains which you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you'll 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 application. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you don't require one, you'll be able to stop it with a click from the exact same section of the CP. You shall still have the ability to access the already generated content by clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your Internet sites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will have the option to trigger or disable the generation of access logs with no more than a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You'll find this function inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access as soon as you sign in. All it takes for our system to start generating logs is a single click on the On button which you will see there. The function can be triggered individually for any website regardless if it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you shall find a detailed list of all the hosts inside that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with simply a click and you may then see it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation could be deactivated by simply switching the On option to Off within the Logs section of your CP.
