Hi Varun,
Have you ever seen the apache's logs directory?
Please have a look at access.log. You will find ip address, and time at which the mentioned page is accessed, etc.
Logging is a configurable parameter. Find the information in apache's configuration file (httpd.conf).
This concept is same for most of webservers, but log directory name may be different, and conf file may be different.
You can add custom logging through Servlet API as well. Find the useful in th API.

Hi Varun,
Please go through the logs first(access.log in apache). And then go through the httpd.conf where you will find how to configure.
