WHM fails with "plugin error - Analytics: plugin not found"

Symptoms

WHM fails to load properly and appears with the following message:

plugin error - Analytics: plugin not found

Description

This error occurs when the cpanel-analytics plugin is outdated or missing completely. In some cases, updates may be failing due to a failed repository such as FleetSSL.

We've opened an internal case for our development team to investigate this further. For reference, the case number is CPANEL-44105. Follow this article to receive an email notification when a solution is published in the product.
