Using the Metrics Editor Interface in cPanel

The Metrics Editor interface in cPanel allows you to control which metrics tools are enabled for each of your domains. This helps you customize your analytics environment, reduce unnecessary log generation, and optimize performance.

🧩 What is the Metrics Editor?

The Metrics Editor is a management tool that lets you select which analytics and log-processing programs (like AWStats, Webalizer, and Analog Stats) will run on a per-domain basis. This gives you the flexibility to collect data only where it's needed and streamline your server's workload.

✅ How to Access:

  1. Log in to your cPanel account.
  2. Scroll to the Metrics section.
  3. Click on Metrics Editor.
  4. Choose the domain you want to configure.
  5. Enable or disable any of the following tools:
  • AWStats
  • Webalizer
  • Analog Stats

🧠 Why Use the Metrics Editor?

  • Improve performance: Disable unnecessary tools to save resources.
  • Customize reports: Use only the metrics tools you prefer.
  • Enhance security: Prevent logs from being created for sensitive or unused domains.
  • Reduce disk usage: Fewer tools generating logs means lower storage consumption.

🔧 Govaio.com Recommendation:

At Govaio, we suggest enabling:

  • AWStats for comprehensive SEO and visitor insights
  • Webalizer for graphical summaries
  • Disable Analog Stats if you're already using the above two, to reduce redundancy
