Analyzing portal usage data

You can collect data about the usage of the portal and analyze them.

You can collect these types of data:

• Server side data of the portal site. This consists mainly of technical data internal to the portal.

• Data about the behavior of your client users. You analyze this data by using Active Site Analytics (ASA).

• Log and analyzing server side site data

  WebSphere Portal implements a logging function for your usage data. The portal writes usage records to a dedicated log file if site analysis logging is enabled. Multiple types of site analyzer loggers allow portal administrators to collect statistical data in various areas. The portal server manages the collection of data on its own, but from a business point of view you can also log custom details of business events.

• Analyzing user behavior by Active Site Analytics

  You can collect data about user behavior in the portal and send that data to a service for analysis. For this purpose the portal provides Active Site Analytics (ASA).
