Webalizer is a log-analysis tool in cPanel that generates website traffic statistics.

- AWStats or other analytics tools are unavailable.
- Clients require local (server-side) visitor reports.
You may want to disable Webalizer if:
- It is not being used.
- You want to reduce disk usage and CPU load.
Steps to Enable or Disable Webalizer Using Cothe mmand Line:
- Log in to your server via SSH as the root user.
- Open the cPanel configuration file using a text editor:
vi /var/cpanel/cpanel.config
- To enable Webalizer, set the following value:
skipwebalizer=0
- To disable Webalizer, set the value to:
skipwebalizer=1
- Save the file and exit the editor.
- To verify the current Webalizer status, run:
grep skipwebalizer /var/cpanel/cpanel.config
If the output shows skipwebalizer=0, Webalizer is enabled.
If it shows skipwebalizer=1, Webalizer is disabled.
This is how you can enable or disable Webalizer using the command line in cPanel.
