Site Web Analytics - no usage data being generated
Hello all:
I have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 farm with 2 WFE - 1 Search Server and 1 DB server. Search Service Application has been configured and functioning properly. Usage and health Data Service Application has been created and started. Usage
data collection is enabled and the "Analytics Usage" check box is checked. Usage Data Import and Usage Data Processing timer jobs are scheduled and run successfully.
But, I still get the following error when I go to the Site Web Analytics "A web analytics report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the
usage data for this site has not been processed yet."
After doing some research, some folks have suggested the following which has to do with manually enabling the receivers via powershell - which I have done but still no report and same error.
http://geekswithblogs.net/bjackett/archive/2013/08/26/powershell-script-to-workaround-no-data-in-sharepoint-2013-usage.aspx
Other Internet searches indicate that Web Analytics Reports is no longer available in SharePoint Foundation 2013:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/08/31/sharepoint-2013-web-analytics-report-where-is-it.aspx
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/63099/where-is-the-web-analytics-service-in-sharepoint-2013
There is also a TechNet question which indicate that "Microsoft Support confirmed me there's a bug in SharePoint Foundation 2013 in the Database that's going to be fixed in the June or August CU"
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/5372109c-8a6e-4d31-aa34-13b6cbde52cf/sharepoint-foundation-2013-web-analytics?forum=sharepointgeneral
But, there is no resolution if this bug has been addressed or not.
Therefore, I would really like to know what the deal is with this issue. At the moment, I do not see any usage data being generated on any of the SharePoint Foundation servers in the farm.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Rumi
Hi Rumi,
Find a same issue internaly which says that the links Site Web Analytics is no longer valid in SharePoint 2013 Foundation due to the changes in analytics service application architecture, so you may need the SharPoint enterprise edition for using
this feature.
Symptom
- Recently, we upgraded to SharePoint Foundation 2013 from WSS 3.0. In SharePoint Foundation 2013 sites, we see the option to click on Site Web Analytics reports but when we click on it, we get an error.
- Clicking on Site Web Analytics reports from Site Settings \ Site Actions produces the error: “A web analytics report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet.”
- We have ensured we have logging enabled (multiple categories)
- Example Site: http://sharepoint2/sites/IT/Projects/SAP/_layouts/15/usageDetails.aspx
Cause
By Design
1) The links in Site Settings from a site collection are no longer valid in SharePoint 2013 (due to change in Analytics Service application architecture changes...part of Search Service now)
2) SharePoint Foundation 2013 does not support Usage Reporting Analytics
Resolution
o Purchase a license for SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise, and build out a farm for it (the Foundation SKU cannot be upgraded in-place to Server).
o Once built up, you could copy your databases over and attach them to the Server farm and do your cutover.
o Going forward from there, you would be able to have access to the Usage reports.
Also as you have found that msdn blog with the explenation that it is not available in SPF 2013.

Site web analytics report shows no data
Hi All,
A user reported that they could not view the site web analytics report
in the SharePoint 2013 production server. It was working fine a few couple of weeks back though.
I started the troubleshooting for this issue and came cross a few blogs that details the same issue.
There were my steps:
In Central Admin (CA) >> Service Applications >> Usage and Health data collection was
started.
CA >>
Monitoring >> Reporting >> "Enable usage and health data collection"
was checked.
CA >> Monitoring >> Timer Jobs > Review job definitions
>> Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import
(5 minutes) and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing
was enabled. I clicked on "Run Now" on these job schedules.
CA >> Search Service Application >>
Under Mange Content Sources page
the status was Idle.
We have performed the full crawl a few days back.
PowerShell: Read the Brian
T. Jackett's blog. Basically, he uses PowerShell to trigger the Receivers
for the AnalyticsUsage and PageRequest
and enable these Receivers for Analytics and Page Requests. In the
production environment these receivers were already defined and I just executed them again. Ran the
OWSTimer service for all SharePoint servers. However, after 2 days no data was shown.
The only thing we have not checked is WSS_Logging database.
We are stuck in this issue and its OOTB feature.
Any pointers for this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aroh
Aroh ShuklaHi Aroh,
Please refer to the article:
http://blog.fpweb.net/troubleshooting-sharepoint-2013-web-analytics/#.VNcSsf4fqM8
There are still some place you could check for general troubleshooting steps, such as:
1.Did you configure AAM recently that might affect this?
2.Does related timer jobs run successfully?

SharePoint 2010 Site Web Analytics - Top Pages report not showing complete data
Hi,
I have a custom page in a team site which takes list ID as an argument and shows the relevant data e.g.
../Dashboards/View%20Briefing.aspx?BriefingID=1078
../Dashboards/View%20Briefing.aspx?BriefingID=1079 etc
When i look at the Top Pages report under Site Web Analytics all i can see is data for:
/dashboards/view briefing.aspx
I need stats for individual list items i.e. how many time BreifingID 1078 was viewed etc. Is it possible to achieve this using OOTB reports or can i write a custom report to achieve this? If yes then how...
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
KashifYou’re dynamically filtering content on a single page with values on the query string. Your users are still only hitting one page (View%20Briefing.aspx). Analytics only sees that 'View%20Briefing.aspx' is being hit; it won’t record stats for what’s specified
on the query string.
I expect you could pull this data out of your IIS logs using log parser. Some links on this subject:

SharePoint Foundation Site Web Analytics reports
Hi,
I am currently attempting to get the Site Web Analytics reports to work in SharePoint Foundation. However, there seems to be little available information regarding this. What is necessary for this to display a report? To start with, what
SharePoint & Windows services and SharePoint service applications need to be started? We use SQL Authentication for the content database because all the databases are in a different domain.
Any information someone can shed would be helpful.
Currently, when I navigate to the page it states "A web analytics report is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet." I have looked up this
information on the net, but nearly all information applies to SharePoint Server. I need help setting this up with SharePoint Foundation.
Thank you much.Hi Steven,
Ahhh, I had a feeling that was a problem.
I had similar issues after installing SP1 so I could have some of the new features, like the storage report back for sites, and deleted sites going into the recycle bin. However, I had read that I *had* to install the June 30 CU as well, which may have been
a mistake. Because after installing both and running a psconfigui, it made things as flaky as they were during the beta.
It took my good, stable, trustworthy and solid SPF install and made it unstable. Managed Accounts started acting weird, permissions were odd, BDC service crapped out, user code errors, the works. Bummed me out. I basically blew out the server, did a fresh
install and restored from a farm backup (actually a full then differential, gotta love scheduling backups). Mind you, I could afford to do that, and I simply don't mess around with bad updates.
(I also found a post that said that if you have SP1 installed, a common error is if you delete a list, then delete the site, you can restore the site from recycle bin, but the list that was deleted from that site earlier cannot be restored-- so to avoid/fix
that problem, install the August CU... it's always something...)
Do you have backups of your farm pre-updates, preferably both, but at least the CU? Maybe you can do a restore on a virtual machine to see if it fixes your issues?
Also, here's another question. After you installed SP1 and the August CU, did you do a psconfigUI.exe (or at the command line, psconfig.exe)? It might be good and bad that you didn't (if you didn't). The way to check to see if you didn't is check the database
statuses (review database status under Upgrade and Patch Management in Central Admin). The statuses will say that the databases can be/should be updated if you didn't run psconfig. That means that SharePoint has updated, but the databases in SQL haven't.
Maybe you can make a copy of those databases, and try to attach those databases to a pre-update (sp1 and CU) SharePoint Foundation server to see if web analytics work there again. Although, if I am understanding correctly, some changes can occur on databases
during updates, but they're not complete til psconfig is run. But hey, it's worth a shot.
Or you can use psconfigui.exe (or psconfig.exe if you want to use the command line) to update the databases and see if that fixes the problem.
I'm sorry again about your issues if they are update related. It is so frustrating to think you are trying to stay up to date on your server, being a good admin, and instead it breaks important things without apology or way to fix it (since cumulative updates
cannot be uninstalled, but it is really difficult and potentially expensive to have to fully identical farms running side by side for testing).CA Callahan | Author: Mastering Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 and Mastering Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 | Community Launch Leader | -
Number of Page View is showing zero for Site web Analytics Reports
Hi,
We have enabled Site Web Analytics reports in our Site Collection but the Number of Page views is showing zero for all the dates. We have checked all the events to capture in Site Collection Audit settings, Reporting feature is also activated but still the

There are other Site Collection that exists under that Web Application but they show the count for Number of Page views in Site.
Any help would be appreciated.

1-first check "Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy" is started, if not started:
find usage proxy id with following command:
Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy
then start service with following command:
$UsageApp = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | Where {$_.ID -eq "[usage proxy ID]"}
$UsageApp.Provision()

Site Web Analytics Reports - Top Pages - Visitor break down
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to get the top pages with visitors break down under the Site Web Analytics Reports?
Please advice. And thank in advance.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to get the top pages with visitors break down under the Site Web Analytics Reports.
I recommend to use the
SharePoint flavored Weblog reader which aggregates stuff nicely.

Site Web Analytics Reports - accessdenied.aspx - which page/list/library?
When I go to the Site Web Analytics Reports of a site and check the "Top Pages" I see on the 1st position "/_layouts/accessdenied.aspx".
How can I know on which page/list/library they where when they had the access denied?
For example, I have 100 "views" on /_layouts/accessdenied.aspx, is it possible to see:
34 on the homepage
29 on list A
12 on list B
7 on library A
5 on page A
2 on list CTry to find out function name fn_WA_GetTopPages then
add a condition to this function and filter out the /_layouts/accessdenied.aspx page.
As another alternative, you can write your
own access denied page and configure it from web.config. In that page you can write source url into your custom DB to create your own analytics.

Site Web Analytics reports -- no more data
Hi,
I just checked the Site Web Analystics reports and there is no more data since mid Dec. Any thoughts? Is there anything I have to reconfigure?
Thanks in advance.I had similar issue: No data in web analytic report. And I found a lot of error message in Windows Log and SQL Server log:
An exception occurred while enqueueing a message in the target queue. Error: 15404, State: 19. Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DomainName\UserName'
I installed my SharePoint 2010 farm using DomainName\UserName as farm account, web application pool account and services account.
And the SharePoint 2010 farm is now disconnected with the domain.
I found this:
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/311104/msft-edw-when-logged-in-with-cached-credentials-service-broker-drops-incoming-messages-with-an-exception-occurred-while-enqueueing-a-message-in-the-target-queue-error-15404-state-19
, that says the service broker has some known issue with cached credential, so i changed all these account to a local machine account with PowerShell (http://cid-6f40fb61d28cf147.office.live.com/view.aspx/Technology/Using%20Local%20Computer%20Account%20in%20SharePoint%202010.docx
), but still does not work. The 15404 error is still generated with the ‘DomainName\UserName’ account.
Finally, I got this article with similar error message:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2009/08/30/opsmgr-agent-discovery-hanging-after-enabling-broker-service.aspx
. I changed the db owner of the Web Analytics Staging database from ‘DomainName\UserName’ to local machine account with sp_changedbowner. Now, the 15404 error is no longer generated. And after some time (for the scheduled timer
jobs to started and run), I can see data in Web Analytics report. (Actually, I changed the db owner of both Web Analytics Staging db and Reporting db. I don’t know whether both needed).
And according to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725.aspx
, the SharePoint Web Analytics feature relies on SQL Server service broker to function. The SQL Server service broker cannot be started manually. A SharePoint timer job runs one time per day to ensure that SQL Server service broker is enabled on the necessary
databases. 7.After moving databases, you should manually run the health rule "Web Analytics: Verifies that the SQL Server Service Broker is enabled for the Web Analytics staging databases." -
Sharepoint 2010 Site Web Analytics and Site Collection Web Analytics reports
Hello,
On our existing MS CMS 2002 site, we use Google Analytics to track file views, e.g., PDF, DOC, etc. This is very important for us as we need to know who is looking at the files we provide, how often, referrer, from what location, etc. Google Analytics
provides this information when we add the proper GA code to every file anchor e.g.,
<A onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview ('downloads/PDF/filename'); "href="/NR/rdonlyres/B3084801-F110-405E-AF75-7737AB8EC4FD/4542/filename.pdf ">
We are in the process of implementing a new public facing Sharepoint 2010 website. Will native Sharepoint Analytics provide us who/when/from where etc. data on file views as above?
ThanksHi ara99,
In SharePoint 2010, we have improved the set of Web Analytics reports that are available out-of-the-box, which will provide insights into
the behavior of users of your SharePoint sites. There are three categories of reports that you will find:
Traffic reports;
Search Reports:
Inventory reports

When looking at the Site Analytics Report in SP Foundation 2010, I see that many users (though not all it appears) have been logged under the 'Top Visitors' section as both "DOMAINNAME\username" as well as "domainname\username". This makes it hard
to get actual counts of hits the visitors have made since they show up in two places on the report. In my case, I always log in using the same credentials (more recently I have had permissions upgraded so log in is automatic), yet I still see that I
get posted for different usage numbers under the uppercase and lowercase instances. Does anyone know why this would be occurring?Even i am facing similar kind of problem. Some of my users are displayed as DomainName\ID while some are displayed as Lastname, Firstname. I think we need to know the location where these reports are stored.

Site Collection Web Analytics Reports - Storage Usage
Hi All,
under the Inventory section in the Web Analytics reports no storage usage information displays for most reports
The interesting thing is that if I select a Preceding Report (90 days, 180 days etc) that it will show me all the information up to today's date accurately, does anyone have an idea why the Preceding Day/Preceding 7 days report doesn't work but the others
do?Hi James,
Have you checkd if the web analytics data has been updated to today?
You can check if the Web Analytics configuration is working fine per the following posts, and also check ULS if there are any useful messages for troubleshooting this issue.

Sharepoint Web Analytics no data for reports
Hi all,
I would like some assistance in troubleshooting the web analytic problem I am experiencing with one of my farms.
My web analytics reports stopped beeing generated recently and the uls logs have not been helpfull at this point.
I have checked the following:
Verified that the Web Analytics Data Processing Service and Web Analytics Web Service are started on the server.
Made sure web analytics service application is started.
.USAGE files are being generated on the WFE
Noticed that the SharePoint Logging database (LoggingDB) DOES not contains any information.
I think this is where my problem resides, I have tried to create a new Web Analytics services application, with a new staging and logging database, but no luck.
I have also tried to create a new wss_logging db, still no luck.
I have made sure that the account that runs web analytics has the correct SQL db right on the logging db. still no luck.
Your assistance is highly appreciated.
