This is a work-in-progress. It represents my own ever-increasingunderstanding and experience in this area.In brief, this shows how Site Analytics may be set up using IBMWebSphere Portal in order that usage and error logs can beanalysed using tools such as AWStats, Nihuo and WebTrends ( othertools are available )

The term "portal analytics" describes a process that can help youunderstand how your portal is used. IBM WebSphere Portal writesusage records to a dedicated log file. Because the format of the logfollows industry standards ("NCSA Combined"), you can integrateportal usage data with your preferred reporting and analytics tools.
