How do I configure the web analytic reports on sharepoint server 2010? Will these reports provide me with the pages that are being accessed the most?

    Hi @Diana Weaver ,

    The Web Analytics service application is automatically configured as part of the Basic installation of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.

    Advanced installation of SharePoint Server 2010 requires separate configuration of the Web Analytics service application. You can configure the Web Analytics service application after installation of SharePoint Server 2010 by using one of the following tools:

    • Farm Configuration Wizard
    • Central Administration
    • Windows PowerShell

    The default configuration for the Web Analytics service application consists of:

    • One Web Analytics service application.
    • One Web Analytics Reporting database and one Web Analytics Staging database. The databases must be associated with the service application. For additional information about reporting and staging databases, see Database types and descriptions (SharePoint Server 2010).
    • One Web Analytics Service application proxy associated with the default proxy group of the server farm.

    For more details, please see:

    The number of page views will be displayed in the report, so you can see the browsing status of each page.

    SharePoint's built-in analytics reports give you the basics but there aren't many details.

    Your SharePoint Server installation uses IIS to deliver web content, and IIS creates an access log that contains a record of each request it receives. These access logs can be used to create detailed web analytics reports.

    Our company makes self-hosted web analytics software that works with both SP On-Premises and SP Online: it's called Angelfish. If you're looking for a better solution, please give it a look.
