We have been using SharePoint 2010 for quite a while now and one of the much improved features from MOSS 2007 is the usage reporting, it is always good to see how many of your users are using your SharePoint deployment but one of the weakest areas of SharePoint 2007 was the usage analysis, so I am very pleased that Microsoft have made some massive improvements in this area. It still does not provide you with as detailed a view as Axcelers control point http://www.axceler.com/SharePointProducts/AxcelerControlPoint.aspx with this product you can see even which documents have been opened by the end users Which is another product that we use, with this product you can see even which documents have been opened by the end users, but hopefully from the screenshots below you will see that a lot of work has gone into this part of SharePoint 2010.

Hey guys, do you know a quick way to generate “dummy” usage datas on a testing env. to see some graphs in action?
If so, please tell/mail me.
Thanks a lot.

I am sorry to say that this cannot be done as the analytics only collects browser setting ie Version IP address etc

Hi does anyone know whether SharePoint 2010 Analytics stores the IP addresses of visitors to the website

Hi, I have the Most Viewed portion working, however, it displays the path as as well as the name of the document.
Is there a way just to show the document name? This is SP2010.
Thanks!

I recommend using CardioLog for SharePoint Analytics. CardioLog’s SharePoint usage reports are in-depth, and will enable visibility and control over your portal. Have a look at all of the different
SharePoint Analytics Reports
Also, take a look at the added value of
CardioLog vs SharePoint 2010 out of the box
You can do a free 30 day Enterprise trial or take the Lite version for an indefinite amount of time.

Just a heads up, the cool graph version of the analytics is not available in Foundation 2010. They’ve only got the horrible list views which are truly revolting.

Is there a solution to display the Web Analytics information (data and graphs) on a separate page using the Web Analytics web part – to be viewed by users other than administrators, example. ( closed group of interested parties) managers, directors developers, etc.
How would one go about doing this? A step-by-step tutorial would be useful.

@Samuel
You could give users permission to access the reports instead of via a web part.
Create a new permission level in Site Settings > Permission Levels and tick “View Web Analytics Data”.
Then create a SharePoint group for your managers and give the group the new permission level.
Go to the Site Settings for the site and copy the URL under Site Actions > Web Analytics Reports (this opens the reports within the site context, not Central Admin).
Add the link to the side navigation and apply your SharePoint group to the audience to hide it from regular users.

I’ve been trying to find a way to combine analytic data from two farms. In the past year, we implemented a new 3 tier farm which replaced a single SP server and SQL server. The old production setup is now used for Disaster Recovery.
We’ve had to use the DR server a number of times in the past year for a number of reasons. They were generally Infrastructure related to the SQL Cluster. Anyway, we now have holes in our analytic data. I can access the information on the individual servers, but I would love to be able to combine them to get an accurate picture of everything.
Any suggestions?
