Visitor Analytics

Administrators and Mukurtu managers may choose to enable site analytics. Mukurtu uses the Visitors analytics module. This module is fully self-contained within your site, and does not require third party API integrations or accounts.

1. To enable or disable tracking of visitors using the Mukurtu Visitors module, navigate to your Dashboard in the Site settings section and select the Analytics settings link.

   

2. Tracking is enabled by default. To disable tracking, select the Disabled radio button, then select "Save configuration".

   

3. You can also use the Visitors Configuration page to configure:

   • Pages - page exceptions
   • Roles - user role tracking for specific roles
   • Users - turn on or off user opt-out customization
   • Entity Counter - which entity types should be tracked
   • Retention - how often retention logs are discarded
   • Miscellaneous - script type (minified versus full)
