Overview

This interface displays information about your server’s statistics and statistics software. cPanel & WHM servers include three statistics applications (generators): Analog, AWStats, and Webalizer.

Statistics Status Summary

This section of the interface allows you to view important information about your server’s statistics software.

Show which users are behind

To display a list of these cPanel users, click Show which users are behind. A table will appear that displays cPanel users and the number of minutes behind schedule that their accounts process statistics.

See the Statistics Summary of a Specific User

To view your cPanel accounts’ statistics process summaries, perform the following steps:

1. Select All or a specific cPanel user from the User to Display menu.
2. Click Go. A new interface appears that displays the account’s statistics process information, as well as specific information for each of the three statistics generators.
3. Click Details to view a statistics generator’s information. A new interface will appear that displays the following information:
   • Whether the statistics generator is enabled or disabled.
   • Whether the statistics generator’s Global Generator Defaults setting is enabled or disabled.
     • Click Change to return to the main Statistics Software Configuration interface.

     • Click Change to log in to cPanel as the user that you selected and navigate to cPanel’s Metrics Editor interface (cPanel » Home » Metrics » Metrics Editor).

Process Statistics for User

This section of the interface allows you to process individual cPanel accounts’ statistics. The process runs in the background and stores the results while you continue to work in WHM. When the process finishes, you can view these statistics from the user’s cPanel interface.

To process a user’s statistics, select the user from the User to Process menu and click Go.

Generators Configuration

This section of the interface allows you to select your cPanel users’ statistical analysis software.

Select the appropriate checkboxes to configure the following statistics: Analog, AWStats, and Webalizer.

• Select the appropriate Available to Users checkbox to make the software available to all of your cPanel users who have the ability to change their web statistics software.
  Note:

  cPanel users must also enable the program in cPanel’s Metrics Editor interface (cPanel » Home » Metrics » Metrics Editor) to view their website’s statistics.

• Select the appropriate Active by Default checkbox to make the software the default software for all of your cPanel users.
• Select the Allow Awstats configuration Include file checkbox to customize users’ AWStats configurations. Then, add the configuration file to the user’s ~/tmp/awstats/awstats.conf.include/ directory. For more information, read the ASWstats SourceForge page.
