Access Log Manager
Access Log Manager - what function does it have and how you will be able to use the data you'll find inside it.
An access log features a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically includes the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your website. The log, that's also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you may need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
Our custom Hepsia CP has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are one of them. Once you sign in to your shared hosting account and visit this section, you'll 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 which will be available next to every domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you will see a download link along with 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 app. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective immediately, so if you no longer require one, you can stop it with simply a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel. You shall still have the ability to access the already generated content by simply clicking on the Download link.
