There is a bunch of them (log formats). I don't think any is like ISO/ANSI standarized, but many tools work with many of the different formats.

Probably the most common one (or at least was most common, maybe not anymore) would be "NCSA Common log format" (or just CLF) which looks something like this:

    127.0.0.1 user-identifier frank [10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Log_Format

Many tools for getting analytics out of server-side logs can work with CLF and the various variations. But probably today there are more "modern" formats as well.
