An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain website. Every single file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have only one page with 3 embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the six files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the webpage. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. In some cases you can also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your website. The information an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to write reports on the performance of an Internet site, besides the web stats that your hosting server may have produced.

Even if the logs are disabled, you'll still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
