Analog is a fast, free web log analyzer that produces concise, text-based reports about website traffic. While simpler than AWStats or Webalizer, it is lightweight and consumes minimal server resources. This guide shows you how to enable Analog stats for all cPanel accounts on your server via WHM.
Step 1: Log in to WHM
Open your browser and navigate to https://your-server-ip:2087. Log in with your root credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to Tweak Settings
In the WHM sidebar, go to Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings.
Step 3: Find the Stats Programs Section
Click the Stats Programs tab at the top of the Tweak Settings page, or use the search bar to locate it quickly.
Step 4: Enable Analog
Find the Enable Analog stats option. Set the toggle to On to enable Analog for all cPanel accounts on the server.
Step 5: Save Changes
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.
Important Notes
- Analog is enabled by default on fresh cPanel installations. If it was previously disabled, re-enabling it will begin generating stats for the next scheduled log processing run.
- You can enable multiple stats programs simultaneously (Analog, AWStats, and Webalizer). Users will then see all enabled programs under the Metrics section in cPanel.
- For additional configuration options, go to Home » Server Configuration » Statistics Software Configuration.
- Users can view their Analog reports from cPanel under Metrics » Analog Stats.
Troubleshooting
- Stats not updating: Ensure the
cpanellogddaemon is running. Check under Home » Service Configuration » Service Manager. - Analog not visible in cPanel: The feature may be disabled in the cPanel package. Check Home » Packages » Edit a Package and ensure Analog is allowed.
For more information, see the official cPanel documentation on Stats Programs.
