August 04 Can't report Site Usage Stats on SPS 2003/WSSI been given a task to maintain a SPS2003 Portal.
I was asked to give some stats on the Site Usage for newly launched Discussion form.
Thinking this would be a walk in the park, I go to relevant admin area to generate some reports, I first find out that the Usage Analysis Prcoessing option was not switched on since the portal has been live (nearly a year!), hence no stats been logged! :(
So I switch on the logging and also enable anlysis processing to allow the SPSTimer Service to process the logs overnight - this only generates reports on the last 24hrs.
I come back in the morning expecting to see some usage data by viewing through the View site usage data link in the Management and Statisitics section of the Portal Administration, to my horror I see:
Use this page to view a detailed usage report for this Web site. The report does not include data for sites under this Web site. To see detailed data for these sites, see their corresponding usage reports. For usage information on all sites in this site collection see the Web site collection usage summary. A usage report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet.
Now I wondering whats going on!! Check in the logs directory to make sure SPS is writing the logs, and it is.
I do some googling and come across a blog article by Jeff Cate which explains why Site Statics page keeps coming to a blank, see below:
There are pages available in Windows SharePoint Services that will allow you to obtain usage statistics for WSS Sites. However, this is not the case for Areas in SharePoint Portal Server 2003. There are no built-in hyperlinks in the Admin pages for viewing usage statistics for a give Area.
Does this mean that usage statistics are not available for Areas in SPS 2003? No, it just means that you have to know a backdoor URL to get to the pages that display the stats. Here is the format of the URL: http://{your portal name}/_layouts/1033/usageDetails.aspx This URL will take you to a usage statistics page for the Home Area of your portal. (Note: the 1003 is the designator for you language, so it will be different if not using U.S. English). If you want to look at usage statistics for a Subarea, for instance, News, you would modify the URL to look as follows: http://{your portal name}/News/_layouts/1033/usageDetails.aspx Happy analysis!
Happy Days!! I am now seeing my Site usage Stats!!! September 22 WSS Templates - Applications for Windows SharePoint ServicesThese application templates are tailored to address the needs and requirements for specific business processes or sets of tasks for organizations using WSS.
