Hi,
Greetings.
Thank you for the post where you have explained all the steps required for viewing the usage reports.

Thanks,

i am new bie to sharepoint ….recenlty i was asked to configure usage statistics for more than 30 days…but, i could only see a result for the last 30 days. Could it be possible for me to have a result for more than 30 days…may be for 3-4 years? can you please enlist me the method to to that.?
Thanks in advance..

@ Vibs: Yes, out of box SharePoint shows the statistics for not more than 30 days, if you want to have statistics for more than that you have to go for custom solution please look it the CodePlex solutions http://hitcounter.codeplex.com/
HI Everyone..
Site usage Report was working earlier, now its not working..
Again i have done the same steps what has been shown, but still i cannot see the usage report for site and site collection..
Please Reply me urgent.
Thanks in Adv,
Shiva
Excellent guide but i am having a small problem that i really dont know how to get around, for the step on the Shared Services Administration page all i can see is a list of my web applications. There are no options to configure and nothing that i can see that has the office usage reports label. I cant seem to find this option anywhere. Help please?
@ Martin: I assume you are looking on page http:///_admin/managessp.aspx where you can see the list of web applications associated to SSP, you have to click on the default SSP, it will be like <your Shared Services name…..> (Default)
Now i feel stupid, one menu away. Got the option thank you. My reporting is now up and running
If I have a customised search webpart but still want to use the usage reports, how can I do that?
@ Sergiu: Site usage report generates based on the site visits/hits, the report will generate even if you customize the search webpart
Vinjay,
When I said I customized, I meant I created a totally new webpart and doing a fulltext search myself. And any search does not show in the top searches collection usage report. I wanted somehow to be able to log somehow in the analytics so it shows inthe reports.
Thank you,
Sergiu
