That's just the apache's access logfile where the web access is logged into. 
There are other logfiles, which you might find more interesting:

/var/log/messages               General system logfile
/var/log/maillog                        Logfile for email related issues
/var/log/kernel                 Logfile for kernel related issues

Many people like to use LogSentry (formerly known as Logcheck) from Psionic 
Software (http://www.psionic.com/products/) which automatically scans your 
logfiles and reports items of interest to you by email.
