Clarity page traffic

[ChadEarp4206774]

Is there any way to pull traffic / screen usage stats in Clarity? We have lots of portlets and views that were created for specific requests and would like a way to validate if they are actually being used.

Hi..

As josh said you could get the information from the access logs, take the log file extract the action code, user id and time from the text file in the log put it in a database table and build a portlet based on that and users can see that portlet.

"take the log file extract the action code, user id and time from the text file in the log put it in a database table and build a portlet based on that" - taking the log extract is a manual process ... is there a way we can get the info from the logs, maybe via javascript, and then, build an HTML portlet ?

If yes, please share as to how it can be done

Hi Nj,

You can use, java, C# anything to read an text file and dump into a table. I don't have a working example at this point.

As others have suggested you can scrape the logs to obtain this information, should be quite easy to identify the ID's and join with portlet names and aggregation to make sense of it all.
A less technical way is to add an additional HTML portlet onto the page. This html portlet can contain web analytics i.e. google analytics.
Remember page views won't necessarily equate to a portlet being used (unless you have the portlet set to run automatically, and only one portlet on a page!) but would give a good indicative estimate of use.

hope that helps
