How to set up AEM Asset Insights in AEM 6.2

Log in to Adobe Analytics (either via a marketing cloud org or via sc.omniture.com)

Go to Admin => Report Suites

Create a Report Suite for Asset Insights

Select the new Report Suite and go to Edit Settings => Conversion => Conversion Variables

Add eVar3 (See evar3 screenshot [3]) and save

Go to Edit Settings => Conversion => Success Events

Configure event7 and event8 (See screenshot event vars [4]) and save

Go to Edit Settings => Conversion => List Variables

Configure list1 (See screenshot [5] below) and save

On the same Report Suites screen above, select your report suite again

Go to Edit Settings => Real-Time

Turn on Enable Real-Time

Go to this URL in AEM: /mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assetinsights/wizard/configure.html

Enter the credentials, authorize, set the report suite to the one you created earlier and use the default configuration (see asset insights config [6])

Asset Click Success Event Name *
event7
Asset Click eVar *
eVar3
Asset Impression Success Event Name *
event8
Asset Impression listVar *
listvar1

Go to /crx/packmgr/index.jsp

Upload and install the package "insightsDemo.zip"

Once you have it all configured, then you should generate some traffic. In the attached zip file, find DemoSite.zip and unzip the contents.

Open index.html in a text editor

Search and replace all occurrences of "http://localhost:4502/" in the html with the base url to your test site, for example: http://dev-aem-author:4502/ 

Go to line 15

assetAnalytics.dispatcher.init("","","","listvar1", "eVar3", "event8","event7");​

Update the code with your own site's report suite, API host, and variables. For example, see below (replace with your Asset Insights report suite and with your analytics company id:

assetAnalytics.dispatcher.init("",".or1.sc.omtrdc.net","","listvar1", "eVar3", "event8","event7");

Open index.html in a browser, if all goes well, then this would generate some traffic.

Go to this URL on the AEM host http://aem-host:port/system/console/configMgr/com.day.cq.dam.performance.internal.AssetPerformanceReportSyncJobnal.AssetPerformanceReportSyncJob

Backup the default value and set this as the cron expression "0 0/1 * 1/1 * ? *" to make it run once every minute

Monitor the AEM logs for any errors, however, if it is working properly, then you would see this message in the logs [1].  If it fails, then you would see this message [2].

If the job fails then the most common cause is that the report suite got unset.  Go here to set the report suite id again: http://aem-host:port/etc/cloudservices/sitecatalyst/assetinsights/performance.html
