Log Folder structure and its contents

Before we move into how to display the Usage Analysis Report, let us first look at the log folder structure and the log files.

Typically your Log Folders will look like Figure 4.

Figure 4

You will notice it is tracking a Log report for different virtual servers and under each server it has folders for each day.  If you click on any of those day folders you will see a log file like the following.

Figure 5

The log files are just plain text documents.  If you open one of these log files you should see lines similar to the following:

D6B48D8C-76AA-4A61-88B7-29D987E67D2E 15:13:46 http://etekglobal  default.aspx aapw2003sharepo\administrator   Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)     

This line information gives you an idea of what time the person has logged in and what pages were visited, etc.  In the above scenario it displays that the administrator logged onto the intranet site and the page visited was the default page.

Hi,

This article was of a great help to me. This could have been even better if you could tell how to keep track of User-Website-Number of Hits. Yes this covers User and Number of Hits, but leaves blank which website was browsed.

How can I customize the site usage report. For an example if I wish to show the username instead of userid in usage report?

It would be interesting to have a report that shows data all over the portal, i.e. it is interesting to know what pages are the most visited in the whole portal.
