How to Activate a Site Quality Monitoring Subscription and Manage Interface Analytics in cPanel

1. Activate a Site Quality Monitoring Subscription

To use Site Quality Monitoring, you must complete the sign‑up process and activate your subscription.

Important: Your hosting provider may disable this feature or its paid plans. If you cannot access it, contact your provider.

1.1 The Sign‑Up Process

You only complete the sign‑up process once. Each subscription must then be activated individually.

1.2 Ready to start?

This menu appears when you open Site Quality Monitoring without an active subscription.

Steps:

• Select the domain from the Monitored domain menu.
• Enter an email address for alert notifications.
• Check the consent box to receive monitoring alerts.
• Click + Create Project to continue.

1.3 Security Code

A security code is sent to the email you entered.

If you do not receive the email:

• Check your Spam folder.
• Verify that you entered the correct email.
• Click Cancel to correct the email if needed.

Enter the code and click + Activate to activate your subscription.

1.4 Compare Plans

If paid plans are enabled, you will see the plan comparison menu.

• Click Continue to use the Free plan.
• Click Upgrade to purchase a paid plan.

2. Allow Users to Manage Interface Analytics

This section explains how to enable user control of Interface Analytics using the panel.ini file.

Note: This applies only to versions 110 and 126+.

2.1 Effects of Enabling User Management

Component	Users Can Manage	Users Cannot Manage
WHM Configure cPanel Analytics	✔️	❌
cPanel Account Preferences (Consent & Privacy)	✔️	❌
Webmail Consent & Privacy Form	✔️	❌

Analytics only collects data when both server‑level and account‑level consent are enabled.

2.2 Enable User Management

Steps:

1. Open WHM → Terminal.
2. Edit:
   

   /var/cpanel/panel.ini

3. Add:
   

   [global]

4. Set:
   

   analytics_consent.enable=true

5. Save and close the file.

2.3 Check Whether Users Can Manage Analytics

If analytics_consent.enable=true, users can manage Interface Analytics.

3. Clean Unmanaged Log Files

Warning: This is an unsupported workaround intended only for experienced administrators.

3.1 Check Disk Usage

To see which log files consume the most space:

du -h /var/log/

3.2 Select Files to Clear

Identify large log files that are safe to empty.

3.3 Empty Log Files

To clear a log file without deleting it:

cat /dev/null > munin-update.log

3.4 Log Rotation

cPanel stores archived logs in:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/archive/

Delete old logs manually:

rm old-log-file.log

Conclusion

This guide covers activating Site Quality Monitoring, enabling user control of Interface Analytics, and cleaning unmanaged log files. These steps help improve monitoring accuracy, privacy control, and disk space management on your cPanel server.
