Calculating Statistics on Demand
During installation of Plesk, several scheduled tasks are automatically created. One of such tasks, statistics, collects statistical information about resources used by sites, such as inbound and outbound traffic, disk space occupied by web content, log files, databases, mailboxes, web applications, mailing list archives, and backup files.
You can adjust which data the statistics task should count and run the statistics calculation on demand. To do this, run the statistics task with a necessary combination of options specifying the parts of statistics you want to collect.
To run the statistics task with required options, follow these steps:
- Using Remote Desktop, log in as administrator to the Panel-managed server.
- Start
cmd.exe. - Change directory to
%plesk_dir%\admin\bin(where%plesk_dir%is the system variable defining the folder where Plesk is installed). - Run the
statistics.exetask with required options. See the list of options and their descriptions in the tables below.For example, to calculate statistics in the mode that will skip all FTP logs, you can use the following command:
statistics.exe --http-traffic --disk-usage --mailbox-usage --mail-traffic --notify --update-actions
The resource usage information kept in the Panel's database and shown in reports in Panel will be updated with the new data.

Additional options
Additional options allow you to specify the set of domain names for which statistics will be calculated. Domain names or masks specified in these options should be separated by the ',' or ';' symbol. You may combine additional options and use them without main options. If you use additional options without main ones, complete statistics will be calculated only for selected domain names. Domains specified directly have higher priority than those specified by masks. Also, the 'skip' list has higher priority than the 'process' list.
