The Web / FTP Statistics area or the Logs area under the cPanel presents you with a wide variety of information about your web site, from the latest visitors to a detailed monthly summary of hits, as well as providing an error log. Using the Statistics tools we can keep track of what pages are being visited most often, and where they are being referred from.
The various tools used for these purposes are:
Analog Stats:

Webalizer:
The Webalizer tool creates a graphical summary display of usage of your site. This is useful to give you a quick and clear overview of your web site activity.

Latest Visitors:
The Latest visitors tool lists the last 300 visitors that have visited your site in the last 24 hours. Note that visitors are defined as requests from servers, not individual people. The records here will give you the vistors IP address, HTTP Code, HTTP version, the amount of diskspace used in bytes, and also the details about the referral link, if any and the details of the browser.
Bandwidth:
The Bandwidth tool generates an overall summary of the amount of bandwidth that your site is using. This is generated from HTTP traffic (looking at your web site, downloading files, etc.) and possibly FTP traffic. However, this does not include any other type of traffic, the most notable of which is POP3 – e-mail. Depending on what files you send and receive through e-mail,
this amount could be considerable.
Error Log:
The Error log contains all HTTP errors that occur when visitors attempt to view your site, such as requested files not found, etc. The Error Log tool is a presentation of the last 300 entries in your error log. A central use of this tool is to locate suspicious server activity, such as attempted virus attacks
