Raw access logs are text files that contain information about website visitors. Logs also include information about the content that visitors access. This feature allows you to download a .zip file containing the access log.

Log Configuration

You can use this section to configure cPanel to automatically archive logs. You can also configure when to automatically delete them.

• After the system processes statistics for your website, select the Archive log files in your home directory after the system processes statistics checkbox to archive log files. Move to the /home directory. By default, the system processes website statistics every 24 hours.

reference:

System administrators can change the process cycle or manually request that statistics be run.

• Select Remove the previous month's archived logs from your home directory at the end of the month checkbox to remove the previous month's logs at the end of each month. Remove it.
• Click Save to save your changes.
