Bandwidth
The
Bandwidth tool generates an overall summary of the amount of bandwidth that your
site is using. This is generated from HTTP traffic (looking at your web site,
downloading files, etc.) and possibly FTP traffic. However, this does not
include any other type of traffic, the most notable of which is POP3 - e-mail.
Depending on what files you send and receive through e-mail, this amount could
be considerable. Contact your hosting administrator if you want to check how
much bandwidth you are using.
To
check how much bandwidth is being used:
1.
Click on the Bandwidth link in the Web/FTP Stats area.
2. Browse the results.
Error
Log
The
error log contains all HTTP errors that occur when visitors attempt to view your
site, such as requested files not found, etc. The Error Log tool is a
presentation of the last 300 entries in your error log. A central use of this
tool is to locate suspicious server activity, such as attempted virus attacks.
Please contact your hosting administrator if you have concerns about activity in
your error logs.
To
check your error log:
1.
Click on the Error Log link in the Web/FTP Stats area.
2. Browse the results.
Raw
Access Logs
You can download the raw access logs that contain all the recorded hit
information that your site has received. These logs are only really useful if

variety of reporting tools presented in this section.

files currently available on your web site.
