Every database has at least 2 files, a primary file and a transaction log file, and at least one filegroup. A maximum of 32,767 files and 32,767 filegroups can be specified for each database.Log files hold all the log information that is used to recover the database. There must be at least one log file for each database, although there can be more than one.
I don't recommend you try to analyze the log file, If you reaaly require to anaylze then you can use SQL Profiler.
