log file
A file which records many activities on a server, counting the number of times each event took place. Among other measurements, Web server log files typically record each time a page on a Web site is requested, when it was requested, the type of browser that requested the page, whether the visitor was visiting the site or page for the first time (a first-time visitor) or a repeat visitor, and possibly the domain name of the user who requested the page. Traffic analysis software can operate on log files to determine how successful the Web site is and suggest ways the Web site might be improved.
