AwStats,, please help! :(

[thedetonator]

I have a 2 or 3 sites on my server which get in the range of 50000-90000 hits/day. When Awsats compiles it eats up around 90% when processing the logs of those websites hence chocking the server. Is there any fix for this? Maybe have it run in the middle of the night? Or increase the frequency so that it doesn't have to cpompile too much at once? Please help and my server is really clogging up because of this. Thanks!

Please let me know how to change the cron times in cpanel.. I can do that as a temp fix..

Thanks Guys.

Same problem here...I disabled AWStats across the board...Some users have installed it on their individual sites with no problems...just when it is serverwide.

[thedetonator]

Thanks for the reply Tom, I think I will also have to do that. Did you just disable it from the &Tweak Settings& in the WHM?

Tom Pyles & Thedetonator: Have you figured out any other way to run AwStats and keep it from eating up too many resources without shutting it off completly?

[thedetonator]

Nope.. I have had to shut it off for one of my servers.

We offer it on a 4 cpu server, it runs fine there :]

Anything else and I would have each account add it as needed.

Actually, I got a reply from DarkOrb. You can make a custom Crontab for the weblog script to run more often so it won't put load on your comp if you run it just once a day.

Ok, so who has done a custom Crontab for this?

[thedetonator]

You can make a cronjob by editing the main cron file. You can edit it with the following command &crontab -e&

/usr/local/cpanel/cpanellogd is the perl script that actually runs the weblogs, so if you run that script a couple of times a day it shouln't have to process all of the day's stats in one go.

first of all i dont have that in my cron at all

and if you exec it manually, it just sits in sleeping for logs

this is something i'd like to do.

process logs a couple times a day, also would like to make sure a bulk of its done at NITE.

any ideas?

[carperman]

i had similar problem with analog, if you got to WHM control panel and thentweak settings, there is a setting for number of days between processing logs, can use decimal point so could set it to run twice or more a day.

I would like to be able to set which stats package, if any, are used on site by site basis.

[rich2]

likewise, and i'd love to force what TIME logs are parsed.

IMO logs should never be parsed during day. just puts too much load on the system

[internetfab]

When i try running ./cpanellogd manually it says things like "skipawstats" and so on.. Seems like it ain't updating awstats.

Anyone know why? I did a runweblogs to check if that worked and it did, but to run it on each account.. that would take some writing

Anyone got a solution?

[Snowman30]

I want to setup a cron so that AWSTats doesnt load up the server so much at once.

Should i be setting up a cron for cpanellogd or runweblogs???

any advice?
