Raw Access Logs

Never underestimate the power of information. Your Raw Access Logs provide information about your website and domain that is invaluable. These logs are continuously updated with data involving activity, users, resource access and much more.

To access your raw access logs, click on the icon in cPanel and download the appropriate log.

When you open a log, you should see several lines that look like this:

crawl-66-249-65-82.googlebot.com - - [26/Mar/2007:02:31:03 -0400] "GET /press/archives/ HTTP/1.1" 200 60280 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

This information may be confusing to new users, so let’s break it down piece by piece.

Agent Name (IP): crawl-66-249-65-82.googlebot.com

The agent name is the identification of whoever was visiting your site. In this case it is a bot from Google with the IP address 66.249.65.82.

Time & Date of Visit: [26/Mar/2007:02:31:03 -0400]

This bot is clearly a morning person.

HTTP Request: "GET /press/archives/

There are several requests and actions that a user can make, but the two most common are GET (downloading content) or POST (uploading). In this case, the google bot downloaded the contents located in the press/archives folder.

HTTP Version/Request Status/Referrer: HTTP/1.1" 200 60280 "-"

Here you will find the HTTP version used, which in this case is 1.1 along with the response that the bot received when it accessed the page. In this case, a 200 code means that it successfully accessed the file, opposite of something like an error 404 code which would mean it did not succeed in accessing the archives. The 60280 is the amount of data downloaded which in this case is in bytes.

User agent Data & Compatibility information: "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

This section entails information about what version browser the bot used as well as its origins.
