Question Permanently Disable /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/statistics_collector

Server operating system version

AlmaLinux 8.10 (Cerulean Leopard)

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.73 Update #3 Web Host Edition

Hi,

I know this topic has been discussed a few times before, but is there any way to completely disable the /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/statistics_collector process?

I’m running a very large website (around 600 GB) with high traffic, and I’ve noticed that this process runs daily from about 4 AM to 10 PM, consuming significant system resources.

Since I typically host only one customer per server, I don’t need disk usage or traffic statistics.

Is there a clean way to stop this process permanently without breaking anything in Plesk?

Thank you!

Hi, there. Unfortunately, there's no option to completely disable the process. It is part of the Plesk Daily Maintenance task and specific process cannot be isolated. The only alternative I can suggest to partially disable it by setting "Web statistics" for the domain in question to "None":
