Web analytics in SharePoint 2010 has improved a lot in comparison with the Site Usage Statistics in SharePoint 2007!

View report in Central Administration

Central Administration, Monitoring, Reporting, View Web Analytics report. In the next screen select the web application you want to analyze. Make sure the Web Analytics Service Application and Proxy are started (CA, Application Management, Manage service applications) and the Web Analytics Web Service and Web Analytics Data Processing Service (CA, Application Management, Manage services on server).

One note at the Top Browsers report: My development environment has IE8 installed as the only browser… what about Unknown and Netscape in the listing of browsers?

Web analytics workflows

At Site and Site Collection report level workflows can be added to keep track of specific Web Analytics data changes (Web Analytics Alerts) and selected reports (Web Analytics Reports) can be scheduled to be e-mailed to reviewers. You must have the View Web Analytics Data permission to start these workflows.

The settings for the Web Analytics Alerts (watch the and/or):
Schedule Web Analytics Alert

Several conditions with values can be set to generate the alert you want!

The settings for the Web Analytics Reports:

Schedule Web Analytics Report

Watch the reports listed, these are all the reports available at site collection level, because site collection is selected at Site Scope. Changing the scope to This Site Only the site reports (only Traffic reports) will be displayed here.

Web analytics webpart

The Web analytics webpart is an Out Of The Box (OOTB) webpart to display the results on a page. Compared to the reports this webpart is limited.

The webpart displays the most viewed content, most frequent search queries from a site, or most frequent search queries from a search center. Other settings are the Site Scope: This Site Collection, This Site and Subsites and This Site only; Period: 24 hours – 180 days; Item Limit: max 100; Exclude items with a certain title and six options to set on how to show the results in the webpart. A nice feature is the RSS feed!

  7. Wow, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and actual effort to make a good post… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never appear to get something done.
