Using Awstats for generating usage statistics for a Liferay portal


Has anyone tried to use Awstats for generating usage statistics for a Liferay portal?

Can you share your experience on how to do it?

Aside from Awstats and Google Analytics, are there any other alternatives for generating statistics for a Liferay portal? (I can't use Google Analystics since it's a restricted internal portal)


Solution

  • Your best bet would be to use Awstats to parse the web server logs (Apache, IIS or whatever it is running on). If Liferay creates it's own logs, you can configure Awstats to parse custom log formats. See here for tips on reading custom logs:
