WebLog Expert is a
log analyzer. It analyzes log files to generate website activity
statistics.

Raw log
files are files that contain information about website visitor
activity. Log files are created by web servers automatically. Each
time a visitor requests any file (page, image, etc.) from the site
information on his request is appended to a current log file. Most
log files have text format and each log entry (hit) is saved as a
line of text.
Here is a
sample of log entry in Apache Combined format:
213.135.131.79 -
- [15/May/2002:19:21:49 -0400] "GET /features.htm HTTP/1.1" 200
9955 "https://www.weblogexpert.com/download.htm" "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461)"

Most
hosters provide access to log files via FTP or control panel so you
can download them and analyze with WebLog Expert. The program can
also download log files automatically.
If you
have your own web server you can find and change log location in
the server settings.
