Analyzing portal usage data

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

Prerequisites

Technotes for site analytics

We can collect these types of data:

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

• Server side data of the IBM Web Content Manager items.

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

• Log and analyze server side site data
  WebSphere Portal implements a logging function for the 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 we can also log custom details of business events. Configure the portal for site analysis logging for the web content viewer.
• Analyze user behavior by Active Site Analytics
  We can collect data about user behavior in the portal and senthat data to a service for analysis. For this purpose the portal provides Active Site Analytics (ASA).
