access log

Website visit history

An access log is a file that records every request made to a server or system—who connected, when, what they accessed, and whether it succeeded.

Web servers maintain access logs to track visitors; security systems use them to detect intrusions or unauthorized activity.

The access log showed someone had been trying to brute-force the admin password.
