Standards for user log files

I'm curious, there are some sorts of standards for tracking traffic with log files. I'm talking about files like access.log and error.log from Apache. Now, lets say that we have a secure site, a www-admin section for a web site with multible users. The primary user might want to track the actions of other users. Is there a specific format or a standard of how these kinds of log files are built?
