Configuring Statistics

After installation, Parallels Plesk Panel's statistics utility is set up to:

• Count the inbound and outbound traffic.
• Count the disk space occupied by web content, log files, databases, mailboxes, web applications, mailing list archives, and backup files.
• Keep the web statistics and traffic statistics gathered by Webalizer or AWstats programs only for the last three months.

To review or adjust these settings:

1. Go to Settings > Settings of Server Statistics (in the General group).
2. Under the System preferences group, specify the term during which the bandwidth usage statistics should be kept for your customers.
3. Specify the items that should be considered when disk space and bandwidth usage is calculated.
4. Click OK.

Note: In addition to the settings related to statistics, this screen provides the means to rename your server's hostname, and the option to allow or forbid users to create new subdomains and domain aliases in the DNS zones belonging to other users (the Do not let users create DNS subzones in other users' DNS superzones checkbox). We recommend that you select this checkbox, otherwise, users will be able to create subdomains under domains belonging to other users, and set up websites and e-mail accounts which could be used for spamming or even phishing or identity theft.

For instruction on viewing statistics, refer to the chapter Viewing Statistics.
