What is Webalizer?
Webalizer is a web log analyzer that produces detailed, graphical reports about website traffic, including visitor statistics, page views, referrers, and browser information. It is one of the three built-in statistics programs available in cPanel & WHM (alongside Analog and AWStats). This guide shows you how to enable Webalizer for all cPanel accounts on your server via WHM.
Steps to Enable Webalizer Stats
- Log in to WHM as the root user.
- Navigate to Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings.
- In the search box at the top, type
Webalizerto quickly locate the option. - Under the Stats Programs tab, find Enable Webalizer stats.
- Set the toggle to On to enable Webalizer for all cPanel accounts on the server.
- Click Save at the bottom of the page.
After saving, Webalizer will begin generating statistics reports during the next scheduled log processing run.
Important Notes
- Webalizer is enabled by default on fresh cPanel installations. If it was previously disabled, re-enabling it will start generating reports on the next stats run.
- You can enable multiple stats programs simultaneously (Analog, AWStats, and Webalizer). Users will see all enabled programs under the Metrics section in cPanel.
- Users can view their Webalizer reports from cPanel under Metrics » Webalizer.
- For additional statistics configuration options, go to Home » Server Configuration » Statistics Software Configuration.
- This is a server-wide setting — it applies to all cPanel accounts.
Troubleshooting
- Stats not updating: Ensure the
cpanellogddaemon is running. Check under Home » Service Configuration » Service Manager. - Webalizer not visible in cPanel: The feature may be disabled in the cPanel package. Check Home » Packages » Edit a Package and ensure Webalizer is allowed.

Webalizer. The setting is under the Stats Programs tab.
