Statistics

The portal engine integrates the Pimcore Statistics Explorer to get statistics about the data contained in a portal and for certain tracked user interactions.

Statistics Area Brick​

You will find a statistics area brick which can be embedded into portal engine portal and content pages within the "Content" group.

This brick can be used to create a customized dashboard which shows useful statistics.

The following statistics currently are integrated out-of-the-box.

Statistics from data pool OpenSearch indices​

Data object types​

Pie chart with the number of data object elements summed up for each data object class definition.

Asset types​

Pie chart with the number of asset elements summed up for each different asset type (image, video, document...).

Asset storage by types​

Pie chart with the total amount of consumed storage for assets summed up for each different asset type (image, video, document...).

Statistics from statistics trackers​

The portal engine tracks logins and downloads with a statistics tracker into additional OpenSearch indices.

The trackers work like described in the Statistics Explorer documentation. There you will find additional information on the index structure and about housekeeping the indices/delete outdated statistics information.

Access to the Statistics Routes​

The statistics routes of the portal are /_portal-engine/stats/portal/... and the Statistics Explorer bundle's /pimcore-statistics-explorer/portal/.... On portal sites, they need a logged-in portal user:

  • The routes used by the statistics area brick (loading a configuration, querying data, loading translations) require portal access. A Pimcore backend session also has access to them.
  • All other routes (data sources, fields, saved configurations) also require the Statistic Explorer permission of the portal user.

Without the Statistic Explorer permission, data requests only run saved configurations: the query is taken from the configuration named in the configurationId parameter, and requests without a configuration are denied. This also applies to requests with a Pimcore backend session.

On sites that are not portals, only the routes of the statistics area brick on /_portal-engine/stats/portal/... are available, and only with a Pimcore backend session (for example in the preview of Pimcore Studio). Contexts other than portal are not available on /_portal-engine/stats/....
