Raw Webserver Log Files

Website statistics are all primarily based on raw log files from the webserver. These logs provide the raw data for statistics programs to use and analyze. Raw logs are updated in real-time and rotated on a monthly basis.

All the info you need

MagnaCom maintains log files in Apache Extended Log Format (ELF) for Unix based hosting customers, which not only records the access information for each visitor, but also their agent information (Browser used, OS used) and referral information (URL prior to visit). This format allows you to have the most information available on visitors to your website.

Separate for your convenience

Unix based hosting customers have an error log used for diagnosing problems relating to their website. Any errors Apache encounters will be logged into the error log. Without error log, it is very difficult to administer a successful website and pinpoint troublesome scripts.

Quick and accurate!

Each account's access and error log files are updated every five minutes, providing you with up-to-date information on your site. Entries are recorded sequentially and provide you with an accurate look at what is going on with your site.

One month at a time!

Unlike other hosting companies which delete logs daily or do not even maintain log files, MagnaCom will maintain log files without rotation for the entire month, before deleting the logs and starting over for the next month.

One simple file you control

For Silver customers we offer one combined log file in your filespace, which you can download and use statistics programs to process off-line.
