I am setting AWstats for Windows, which uses Perl.

I have heard it is a resource hog. I have scheduled it to run after midnight. My site get quite some traffic, and I don't want AWStats to use all the CPU when it is processing the logs. How do I limit its CPU usage?

Not too familiar with how AWstats works with Windows, but I assume it is run from the task scheduler. You can change the command to execute the file to something like this:

start /low c:\path\to\awstats\executable.exe

How are the logs being stored? Are they set to create new log files daily? Try switching the IIS setting to that since you are running AWSTATS daily.

Hi John

Somehow that "start /low ..." doesn't work.

Yes, the new log is created daily. The awstat update doesn't use that much CPU power, but it is not instant either. I am not sure if I should be concerned or not.
