Depends on where you want to see your analytics:
- If you want analytics in your JW Player account dashboard, you need to either upload the video or add your external content URL. Please see https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/2142460-using-jw-player-analytics for more details
- If you want to use Google Analytics, add the ga: {} block to your jwplayer().setup() call. You will also need to include the standard GA embed code from Google at the top of your page.

If you have another analytics plugin on your page, you can use JW Player's Javascript API events to send pings to your analytics:
jwplayer().on('firstFrame',function(){ //send a video view event to your analytics engine here });

Thanks for answer. Actully I do not want my analytics in my JW player account. I want to see this in my local. Is there any way to achieve this? I do not want to upload any video to Jw player as all videos are stored to my local. – Question Warriors May 30 '16 at 10:03

Then you would need to use the third option and send the analytics events back to your local. – Todd May 31 '16 at 11:51
