If you are missing the lfd and System Statistics buttons in the csf GUI, you probably don’t have the Perl packages installed on your server. This issue might happen on any of the csf supported control panels – cPanel, DirectAdmin, InterWorx, CentOS Web Panel (CWP), VestaCP, CyberPanel, Webmin.
According to the csf install file, to meet the requirements, you must install these:
yum install perl-libwww-perl.noarch perl-LWP-Protocol-https.noarch perl-GDGraph
Installation example:
[root@web ~]# yum install perl-libwww-perl.noarch perl-LWP-Protocol-https.noarch perl-GDGraph

[root@web ~]#Now, the buttons are present in csf and you can see the graphs in lfd/System Statistics. In lfd Statistics, you can see the blocks in 24 hours, 30 days, 12 months, also the blocks by country. In System Statistics, you can see stats regarding the CPU, load averages, memory/network/disk/email usage. Allow a few minutes for the data to be collected, otherwise you will see a “No statiscitcal data has been colected yet” message.
