Can Google analytics be used for an old web app?

I have heard about google analytics ad currently reading up and researching it. My company has a really old web app that's being retired but before it does I would like to pull some statistical information on it. The application was developed on a struts 1.1 framework with a hibernate persistence layer (around 2007ish I think). Since it's not a customer serving site per se and there's no advertising involved. I'd just like to track the busiest functional part(s) of the web app. Is this possible? Thanks

Why not just use the server log? - Dave Newton
It's a badly coded app with too much needless data dumped into the server logs. + the boss thinks GA can be used to profile (performance) the web app. - Dark Star1
The access log, not log4j/etc. log, I meant. - Dave Newton
That's a thought. Cheers - Dark Star1

Yes. Enabling google analytics is just a question of adding a piece of javascript to all the pages. Hopefully your web app has some template that you can put this piece of javascript into, so that it is emitted on all pages.
