# Manually updating your Awstats through cPanel

In this article we’ll explain the process of manually updating your Awstats reports with the most current data.

Sometimes a server can get behind on its statistical report calculations, typically because most processes that run on the server that are vital to your website being up, have a higher priority than statistic processing.

Using the steps below will allow you to update your own stat reports in Awstats, allowing you to see your most recent visitor data without having to submit a support ticket to have this updated from our end.

1. [Login to your cPanel](/support/edu/cpanel/how-to-log-into-cpanel/).
2. Under the METRICS section, click on **Awstats**.[![awstats-cpanel-icon](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/cpanel_cPanel_awstatsIcon_highlight.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/cpanel_cPanel_awstatsIcon_highlight.png)
3. Click on the magnifying glass under the **View** column.[![awstats-magnifying-glass](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/cpanel_awstats_awstats_view_highlight.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/cpanel_awstats_awstats_view_highlight.png)
4. You should notice the **Last Update:** and **Last visit** fields are older than the current date, now click on the **Update now** link.[![awstats-update-now](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/website_website-troubleshooting_awstats_awstats-update-now.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/website_website-troubleshooting_awstats_awstats-update-now.png)
5. You should now notice the report has updated to reflect the most recent data.[![awstats-updated](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/website_website-troubleshooting_awstats_awstats-updated.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/website_website-troubleshooting_awstats_awstats-updated.png)
