Portal Analytics is the process of Collecting, Processing, and Reporting portal usage data.
Analytics Data Collection Approaches ::
There are two main approaches for collecting analytics data:
Server side site analytics
Active Site Analytics
Analyzing portal usage data
----------------------------
You can collect data about the usage of your portal and analyze them.
You can collect these types of data:
1. Server side data of your portal site. This consists mainly of technical data internal to the portal.
2. Data about the behavior of your client users. You analyze this data by using Active Site Analytics (ASA).
Analyzing user behavior by Active Site Analytics ::
---------------------------------------------------
You can collect data about user behavior in your portal and send that data to a service for analysis. For this purpose the portal provides Active Site Analytics (ASA).
To configure active site analytics for a page. In page properties-->advanced options-->set parameter value
parameter value
--------- -----
asa_aggregator asa.jsp
If asa is configured for parent page, it is inhereted to child pages also.
=========================================================WCM 8==================================================================================================
We can collect data about user behavior in our portal and send that data to a service for analysis. For this purpose the portal provides Active Site Analytics (ASA).
The portal provides a rich set of page metadata as part of its themes and skins. Examples are:
Page title
Page identifier
Portlet title
Portlet identifier.
We can write scripts to retrieve the data. Such scripts are called aggregators.
Aggregators are located in the PortalServer_root/doc/js-samples directory of your portal installation.
Process for Active Site Analytics ::
1. Collecting analytics data
Before we can send data about user behavior in our portal to a service for analysis, we need to collect that data.
2. Displaying overlay analytic reports
Active Site Analytics show graphical statistics reports about individual portal resources, such as pages or portlets.
These reports are called Active Site Analytics overlay reports.
3. Analytics tags and site promotion
1. Collecting analytics data
----------------------------
The data for the analysis of user behavior is retrieved from markup embedded in the portal pages.
The data is represented as a 'microformat' in portal page. An example of such microformat is:
<span class="asa.portlet.title">My Portlet</span>
Portal supports several aggregator tags, like; asa.portlet.title etc...
The aggregator typically submits the collected data to an external analytics service where the data is then recorded, processed, and formatted in the form of reports.
Portal administrators can manage the aggregators. They can assign an aggregator to one or more portal labels or pages.
Adding an ASA aggregator to a portal page
-----------------------------------------
Goto webDAV-->js folder-->take the name of the aggregator file. ex:- asa_sample.js
Goto Portal administration-->Manage pages-->Page(to set aggreator)-->Page properties-->Advanced options-->I want to set parameters
-->Add Parameter and Value(aggregator file name)-->ok-->ok
*In the field New parameter, type a string that starts with 'asa_aggregator' or 'asa_dependency' . asa_aggregator are added to the page body, asa_dependency are added to the head.
2. Displaying overlay analytic reports
--------------------------------------
The statistics graph is shown on a portal page in the format of a overlay.
The statistics are generated as follows:
-> The data collected by the portal site analytics are collected and forwarded to your business partners for portal analytics.
-> Your business partner analyses and evaluates the portal data and sends back a report to your portal.
-> The portal then displays the report as the overlay graph.
To setup active site analytics overlay report on portal, we have to follow these steps:
1. Enable data collection. For example, you can do this by adding an Active Site Analytics aggregator to a portal page:
-> Access the IBM® Coremetrics® Web Analytics web site or contact your Coremetrics representative.
-> Retrieve the appropriate aggregator file from Coremetrics.
-> Upload the aggregator file to your portal theme folder, for example, by using WebDAV.
-> Add Active Site Analytics aggregator to a portal page.
-> As a result of these steps, analytics data is sent from browsers of your portal users to the Coremetrics data collection servers.
-> You can log on to Coremetrics and analyze the portal usage.
2. Enable inline display of Coremetrics reports by enabling overlay reports:
-> Establish trust with Coremetrics servers.
To display overlay analytic report we have to configure/activate overlay reports for our site :
- Goto Admin console-->Resources-->Resources Environment-->Resource Environment Provider-->WP Config Services-->Custom Properties-->New
- Use the property name 'wp.proxy.config.urlreplacement.default_policy.1' and the value https://welcome.coremetrics.com/*
- If this name is already in use increment the counter of key.
- Apply and Save.
- Next, Import the Coremetrics certificate into your server truststore.
- Goto Admin console-->Security-->SSL certificate and key management-->SSL configurations-->NodeDefaultSSLSettings-->Key stores and
certificates-->NodeDefaultTrustStore-->Signer certificates-->Retrive form Port, and fill the form with details
If 'NodeDefaultSSLSettings' then it is Stand-alone environment
If 'CellDefaultSSLSettings' then it is Portal Clustur environment
- For the host: welcome.coremetrics.com
For the port: 443
For the alias: coremetrics or another identifying string of your choice.
- Retrive Signer Information and Apply & Save.
-> Optional: Set up security for overlay reports.
- You can administer which users can view overlay reports.
- To do this, you use the virtual resource OVERLAY_REPORTS having USER role assigned.
-> Configure your Coremetrics user ID.
- To access the IBM® Coremetrics® Web Analytics system, you have to store user information in a Credential Vault slot.
- If you do not do this, the portal overlay reports cannot show data from the Coremetrics system.
- To configure this we require,
Coremetrics client ID
Coremetrics user name
Coremetrics authentication key.
- Goto admin-->access-->credential vault-->add vault slot, and fill the portlet with details
- name : com.ibm.portal.asa.coremetrics.slot
shared user ID : coremetrics_user_name#coremetrics_client_id
-> Display overlay reports by choosing Show Portlet Reports or Show Page Reports.
- To enable overlay statistics, the user opens the page actions menu and selects either Show Portlet Reports or Show Page Reports.
- When the user clicks a report type in the actions menu, the display reports setting is persisted in the navigational state.
- This means that the user can now navigate through the portal and view statistics on every page that the user visits.
- To disable overlay statistics, the user opens the page actions menu again and clicks the menu item Close Analytics Reports.
-> Optional: Customize the overlay report by providing additional configuration parameters.
3. Optional: To further customize the tagging of your site, assign site promotions to pages and portlets as required.
