Disable Statistics for Certain Accounts?

Is there anyway that I can disable Analog, Webalizer, and AwStats for certain accounts instead having them update stats for every single account? I offer several different plans and the first plan just comes with Analog, and the rest come with Webalizer and AwStats and not Analog. I would like to keep the stat programs that don't come with certain plans to keep them from filling up users quotas.

Also, some clients are going over their disk space because their stats included within the quota. Some of them do not want any of them and would like to have them disabled so they can have more disk space.

If anybody knows how to do this I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. It would be nice if a feature was added in cPanel where clients had to click a button to enable the stats programs instead of them running for every account regardless if they want them or not.

You can edit the:

/var/cpane/users/accountname

file and add settings for the stats packages.

skipanalog=1
skipawstats=1
skipwebalizer=1

Will turn them off and override the server setttings. I even had one client who wanted Analog. I added

skipanalog=0

and it worked for him even though it was off for the server.

Thanks for the info! I'm glad to hear there's a way to disable/enable it for certain accounts.

Now....if there was just a way that it would be off for every account then clients would have to submit a form in their cPanel to active the statistics program they would like to use.

WOW! I never knew you could put these in the user file... I wonder if some other tweaks (from cpanel.config) would work too. ;)

I think whatever settings are available in the "Tweak Settings" page in WHM you would be able to use in the individual user pages.

I have disabled all three statistics programs server-wide and if a client complains about it, then I will enable it for their account. I think it's overkill to generate the stats for every single account three different times unless they really want this. I just wish there was a button they could click to enable it in cPanel, instead of having to open a ticket and have me do it manually.

Do you need to restart Cpanel after putting those settings in the user's file?

I've used the same method to turn off some of the webmail options for clients. One guy only wants SquirrelMail so I added:

skiphorde=1
skipneomail=1

to his file. :cool:

I did that...restarted the server...but the server still running awstats periodicaly for that account (generates major slowdowns)...

Anybody else has the same problem?

Hi,

I have disabled webalizer but have enabled it for bout 2-3 domains. Somehow it's not updating and i tried many fixes and doesnt work. CPanel support just responded with whats your root and havnt heard a thing from them ever since...the support is really getting horrible and considering we're paying customers... :rolleyes:

Any help would be appreciated! :cool:

I've just been told that the above fix doesn't actually stop the stats being created it just removes the icon from Cpanel. How would I stop the stats being created at all for a particular domain please?

Thanks

You have to add these lines.

You can do it in latest WHM /backup.

This entire thread is very misleading. :mad:

Code:
skipanalog=1
skipawstats=1
skipwebalizer=1
Adding those lines to /var/cpanel/users/*username* only disables the stats icons from showing up in cPanel.
It does NOT disable the stats from running! Ugh!!!!!!!
