# Analog Stats

> Single-page text summary of your Apache log. Lightweight legacy alternative to Awstats and Webalizer.

Analog is one of the oldest log analyzers shipped with cPanel. It produces a single-page text-and-table summary of activity per domain. Slimmer than [AWStats](/web-hosting/cpanel/metrics-analytics/awstats), but also a lot less detailed. Most accounts can ignore it.

## What it shows

Click **View** next to a domain. The report is one long page with these blocks:

* **General Summary**: total successful requests, distinct files, distinct hosts served, average requests per day.
* **Monthly Report**: bar chart of hits per month for the last 12 months.
* **Daily Summary**: busiest day of the week.
* **Hourly Summary**: busiest hour of the day.
* **Domain Report**: top requesting domains (the visitors' DNS names, not your hosted domains).
* **Organization Report**: top requesting organizations, deduced from IP allocation.
* **File Type Report**: top file extensions served (`.html`, `.png`, `.css`, etc.).
* **Status Code Report**: count of 200, 301, 404, 500, etc.

## When you'd use it instead of AWStats

Honestly, rarely. The cases:

* **You want a quick text-mode glance.** Analog's whole report is one page; AWStats spans many.
* **You're scripting against the output.** Analog's HTML is simpler to scrape than AWStats's nested tables.
* **You're on a tiny VM and AWStats is too heavy.** Analog uses a fraction of the CPU on each run.

For everyday "who visited what" questions, AWStats is friendlier.

## How fresh is the data

Like the other analyzers, Analog runs once per day. Today's traffic appears tomorrow.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The report is blank or shows zero hits">
    Either no traffic has been logged since the analyzer last ran, or the domain has been disabled in [Metrics Editor](/web-hosting/cpanel/metrics-analytics/metrics-editor). Disabling Analog while leaving AWStats on is fine and saves a small amount of CPU.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The output looks decades old">
    It does. Analog hasn't had a release since 2004. The styling is from a different era. The numbers are still accurate, just the presentation is sparse. Use AWStats for anything pretty.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I want to disable Analog Stats entirely">
    Open [Metrics Editor](/web-hosting/cpanel/metrics-analytics/metrics-editor), untick **Analog Stats** for every domain, save. The button stays in the cPanel home page but the per-domain reports stop generating.
