Statistic Processing Schedule being ignored?

[sneader]

Running WHM 11.26.8 Stable

Under Server Configuration > Statistics Software Configuration > Schedule Configuration > Statistics Schedule > Statistics Processing Times

There are checkboxes for every hour of the day, under "Check all hours that you would like log analysis NOT to be performed."

I have checked each box from 08:00 through 17:00

Yet, here it is at 13:00 and I see cpanellogd updating statistics and causing high load.

Did I miss a step or am doing something wrong?

Still having this problem.

Guess I am the only one. Maybe 11.28 will address this.... will see in a couple weeks.

cpanellogd will process bandwidth (the bytes_logs) regardless of the Statistics Processing Times stipulated. This decision was made after testing in the lab and receiving feedback from customers. Skipping the bandwidth processing causes greater load problems in the common case than the load caused by ignoring the Statistics Processing Times.

Thanks for the info! Of course now my next question is... why is the feature there? Does it do something else besides getting ignored?

P.S. my server load was over 10.0 before I killed off the cpanellogd process, which brought the box back down below 1. I tend to disagree with removing this feature, to stop cpanellogd from running during peak server utilization times... but you must have done this for a reason.

cpanellogd runs in two phases:

Phase 1: process the access logs for domains.

Phase 2: process the bytes_logs for domains.

Phase 1 is governed by this feature. Phase 2 is not.

Thank you! It is starting to make sense. cpanellogd may run for different reasons then, right?

Access Logs = whatever the users sees under "stats" (i.e. AWStats). We can control when cpanellogd runs to update the user's stats.

Bytes Logs = bandwidth usage processing. We cannot control when cpanellogd runs to update the user's bandwidth usage.

Am I getting it?
