Raw Access Logs

In cPanel you can use the Raw Access Logs feature to see the traffic to your website, before it is turned into a report by statistics software. This can be very useful when you need to see who is accessing your site quickly and knowing the type of requests your site is getting. This is also very useful when you need someone to look at your web statistics, but you do not want to give that person your cPanel login. You can use the Raw Access Logs feature to download a zipped version of the server’s access log for your site.

To configure a raw access log

This can be done in the Configure Logs section. The section allows you to configure cPanel to automatically archive logs and when to automatically delete them.configure
