Snowplow is also an option. It’s an open-source data collection solution that, unlike GA, gives you full ownership of your event-level data and the freedom to define your own data structures. Not exactly what you’d call ‘lightweight’ but quite a few Snowplow users/customers have come from GA for the level of flexibility and control they can have over their data sets.

I've setup the Snowplow collector and tracker on some of my sites because that part is very straightforward (and the tutorial on the wiki is great), but I've never gotten past those steps to analyse the data collected.

Is there a highly-opinionated tutorial that shows how one can get some vanity metrics out from Snowplow?
