Statistics Software Configuration

This function allows you to choose what statistics programs will be run on your server. You can also choose whether or not to allow users to determine what statistics programs they will use. Statistics software generates statistics reports based on a user's statistic log files.

4 To modify how often statistical reports are generated, change the number in the field after Generate statistics every to increase or decrease the amount of times statistics are generated.

5 To configure specific hours in which statistics should or should not be generated, click on Configure Statistic Process Time Schedule, check the boxes next to the hours in which statistics should not be run and then click on Save.

Troubleshooting (advanced users only)

If you are having problems with statistics or gaps in your statistics logging, you will want to make sure cpanellogd is running. To check to make sure it is running, run:

ps -ax | grep cpanellogd

You should see something similar to:

13466 pts/1 SN 0:00 cpanellogd - sleeping for logs

32446 pts/1 D   0:00 grep cpanellogd

If you do not see the first entry for cpanellogd listed, you will need to start cpanellogd (The second entry only shows that we used grep to find cpanellogd in the ps list).  To do this, run:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpanellogd

If you wish to run statistics for a single user, you can use: /usr/local/cpanel/cpanellogd username. Replace username with the name of the user you wish to run statistics for.
