Still a problem on Plesk 10.4.4 Update #47

The problem with awstats.pl running for hours and creating very high server load is still a problem even on Still a problem on Plesk 10.4.4 Update #47

Has anyone found a solution to this?
 
Hi, awstats is generally quite heavy CPU consumer as written in Perl. This is by design and isn't a matter of bug of misconfiguration. I mean - it is normal for AWstats to cause high CPU load.

It wouldn't be much of impact for servers (VPSes) with fewer domains, but shared hosting servers may be impacted heavily. I would recommend switch all customers to "webalizer" tool at shared hosting servers.

While awstats produces prettier reports, webalizer consumes less resources. We will make it default setup for future versions - "webalizer" for shared hosting offers and "awstats" for personal use.

regards
