Hello Soylentils. I work in the IT Department of a mid sized utility company. Our engineering department requested that we use Google Analytics to track how people are hitting certain pages, from where, and whether or not they are getting to pages from links on our website or directly. A co worker found that Google Analytics can get expensive. Does anyone have any experience with any FOSS alternatives such as the ones listed in the article below?

    It takes an eye for looking at the network up, but I've been playing around with using sFlow to collect application performance metrics and coupling them with our network monitoring data. A very different approach, which isn't for everyone, but with enough thought and development, I think I can get a reasonable simulacrum of GA using the tools we already have in place.

    Some more info here.

    What's more, if you couple this with sFlow-RT, you should be able to see of your stats in real time.
