You need to plan before you configure Web Analytics Service Application for SharePoint.

Why? The reason is simple, and Joel Oleson explains the reasons on this blog:http://www.sharepointjoel.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=515

The issues have not improved on SharePoint 2013. Check this out:http://www.sharepointjoel.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=655

My client obviously wanted to have Web Analytics to get information about their web pages when I was on vacation. So they configured the Web Analytics with a SharePoint Developer.

But they couldn’t open it because it was greyed out. So they thought everything went wrong and SharePoint isn’t working, and they can’t get data …

But actually as many of yours know for getting you have to start first of all the 2 services “manually”

• Web Analytics Data Processing Service
• Web Analytics Web Service

Secondly you can get data/reports by:

• Central Administration
• Site Collection Settings

• User request a page and action gets picked up by the Web Analytics service that runs on SharePoint
• The Web Analytics service logs this in the “.usage” files
• A Timer job called “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import” that by default runs every 30 minutes imports the logs into the staging database.
• Each night the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing” Timer job runs and transforms the data into the reporting database
• The last run time of the import from staging and the aggregation is logged in the Settings table in the Reporting database
