Access Log Manager

What's the purpose of the Access Log Manager? What type of information will it provide you with?

An access log is a text file which contains a complete list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find many files inside the log. This is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, pictures, etc. All these files shall be listed in the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your website performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are often called "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer website, is typically supplied too. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel features 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 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 press a button that'll be available next to each domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you shall see a download link and also the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your laptop or computer and look at it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantly, so if you don't require one, you'll be able to stop it with just a click from the very same section of the Control Panel. You'll still be able to access the already generated content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our leading-edge hosting platform shall create access logs for each and every website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this feature is permitted. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we supply with all the accounts, so if you want our system to start producing logs for any of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You may stop this feature anytime by following exactly the same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log within the same section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with only a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been disabled, so you will still be able to look at the data which has already been generated.
