Within Matomo you can change some tables into graphs.

If you want to export the data into a different tool and visualize it, there are several options. Like:

  • MetaBase
  • Libre or open office
  • JasperReport

But there are more of them. Just look for them.

You can use, of course, Google Data Studio, which offers a great variety of reports. But you should check, whether you have to mention it in your privacy statement. I would say no, because I did not find full IP-Adresses in the Matomo Database (anonymization activated). But I cannot say for sure.

There is a German dokumentation for this:

Hi @Shahmy_Mohammed

We’ve recently created a guide on how to easily connect Matomo to Google Data Studio without needing direct database access. You can find the setup guide here: https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/how-to-import-matomo-data-in-to-google-data-studio/
