  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Incorrect Traffic Usage Recorded by AW & Webalizer for Web Presence Builder domains

Drakies

New Pleskian
Hey Guys,

I am sitting with a serious problem and I need help, we currently offer the Web Presence Builder to our clients but are having issues with incorrect traffic usage being recorded by AW and Webalizer.

Server Details

Plesk 11.0.9 Update #38
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 Bit


Although stats are updated on a daily basis, for both AW and Webalizer the traffic recorded by these two stats generators do not match or even come close to what is being recorded by Plesk.

To test to make sure that Plesk is indeed recording the correct traffic usage, I used this command below.

cat access_log.processed | grep "Mar/2013" | awk '{SUM+=$10}END{print SUM/1024/1024}'

The output from running this command was 350.043MB. Now If you take a look at the screenshot I took in plesk, you will see that it matches the traffic usage generated.

As you can see in the screenshot, Webalizer has only recorded 2.8MB of traffic. I then started going through the access logs to see what stood out and I came accross these images files "/data/imagegallery/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg".

So I decided to check how much traffic is being generated by the images using the following command below and it appears that the images alone were generating 318MB/350Mb.

cat access_log.processed | grep "Mar/2013" | grep "/data/imagegallery/" | awk '{SUM+=$10}END{print SUM/1024/1024}'

So the problem appears to be with Webalizer/AW stats not recording the correct traffic usage for gallery images. Please advise if you any idea what could be causing this or if I need to change something in the webalizer.conf or awstats.conf file to resolve this issue.
