Apologize for hijacking the thread. I am trying to convince one of my clients to do exactly this. Switch from GA to Piwik for their site which is deployed on Adobe CQ5. I know I can use client side tracking easily (hence my recommendation). However, do you know if there is support for server side CQ5 logs?

I'm tracking sites by loading their Apache access logs into the database. I'm not sure what's CQ5 logs structure is, but it should be possible (tho it might require some modifications).

See here: http://piwik.org/log-analytics/how-to/

Edit: It should be noted that you will get lots of bots requests showing up when you load access logs (the regular tracker relies on javascript, which gets rid of most of the bots). I have a small awk script that cleans the access logs prior to importing them, by trying to detect bots. I can upload that if you're interested.
