The site visit log (Access-log) is a log of absolutely all requests to the site that reached our web server. It is located in the "Hosting → My sites → Access log»:
At the top of the section, a list of all dates for which logs are available is displayed:
In the list you can:
The main part of the section displays information on all requests for selected day:
GET
— request method./
— URI.HTTP/1.0"
— version of the used HTTP protocol.12345
- length of the server response to the request in bytes."https://www.google.com.ua/"
— Request source url."Mozilla/5.0 (XXXXXX) XXXXXX
— User-Agent visitor.If you need to regularly save logs in automatic mode, then for these purposes you can use API hosting - dates (getting a list of dates for which there are logs) and download (downloading logs for the dates received earlier) - and create your own script that will perform the necessary actions.
Access logs can be used to generate convenient HTML-reports. They are generated using the program GoAccessembedded on the hosting.
Each report contains visual statistics on the following metrics: unique visitors requested URL and static files, 404 errors, hostnames and IPs of visitors, their operating systems and browsers, distribution of requests over time, referring sites, HTTP response codes and countries where requests came from.
Reports are generated in a language that installed in the account.
So that reports for previous days are not generated every time anew and are displayed quickly when reopened, after the first opening they are cached on a separate server and stored for the same time as Access logs. The current day report is always regenerated and always contains up-to-date information.
Like daily reports, reports for past months are also cached on a separate server. The report for the current month includes only the days that have passed (that is, all days from the beginning of the month, except the current).
To create a report you need download logs for the required periods and on their basis generate a report on your PC.
Access log can download and study with console commands or specialized software capable of analyzing such logs and displaying various static and analytical information, for example Apache Log Viewer.
