Advanced reporting

Advanced reporting functionality is free to Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source customers and is provided through an integration with Adobe Commerce Reporting. The Analytics module collects and sends data to Adobe Commerce Reporting. However, you do not need to have an Adobe Commerce Reporting account to use the Analytics module.

Prerequisites

1. The website must run on a public web server.
2. The domain must have a valid security (SSL) certificate.
3. Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source must have been installed or upgraded successfully without error.
4. In the Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source configuration, the Base URL (Secure) setting for the store view must point to the secure URL. For example https://yourdomain.com.
5. In the Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source configuration, Use Secure URLs on Storefront, and Use Secure URLs in Admin must be set to Yes.
6. Make sure that the crontab is created and cron jobs are running on the installed server.

The merchant can now click on the Go to Advanced Reporting button on the Admin dashboard to launch the advanced reporting features.

Recommendations

To avoid system overload during its prime time, you can set the preferable time of a day for a data collection.

Extensibility

Though the Analytics module provides an API, it is used specifically to interchange data with Adobe Commerce Reporting. Adobe does not recommend extending the advanced reporting functionality.
