  • The login ID of the visitor
  • The date and time of the hit
  • The request method
  • The location and name of the requested file
  • The HTTP status code (e.g. file sent successfully, file not found, etc)
  • The size of the requested file
  • The web page which referred the hit (e.g. a web page containing a hyperlink which the visitor clicked to get here)
