Description/Features
Versions of this plugin prior to 2.2 require the appropriate Utilities Plugin to be installed into WEB-INF/lib.
This plug-in contains macros for anonymously tracking content access.
Otherwise known as 'hit counting', this macro provides the ability to count the number of times a given piece of content has been viewed. It does not count views by the most recent editor of the page.
Please note that this is not currently intended to be a fully-fledged statistics package. Check out the Traffic Stats Plugin page, which is attempting to collect information about what kind of statistics would be useful to people.
Contains the following macros:
- {content-info} (deprecated)
- {tracking-info}
- {tracking-table}
- {tracking-column}

All pages and attachment hits are counted from as soon as you install the plugin into Confluence. The {view-count} macro simply outputs the recorded value.
Actually, another thing is that since the count is incremented after the page is viewed, the number displayed will not count your own view of the page.
I'll update the docs to reflect that info.

When the page is located in my personal space, it takes less than 1 second to render.
When the page is located in a global space, it takes over 6 seconds to render.
Both spaces have similar amount of pages (<50).
Any ideas?
Thanks, Bill

Some possibilities are that the global space has more content of other types (attachments, news items, etc). When it filters out pages it runs through all content checking if its appropriate. There is certainly some room for optimisation there.
Alternately, perhaps it has more historical versions of pages, although that's less likely, since I'm pretty sure historical versions don't get checked.

Is it planned to provide caching functionality for the tracking-table macro?
i.e.
(tracking-table:
spaces=(+/-)[@all|@global|@personal|@favorite|KEY]
|scope=(+/-)[KEY:]Page > [children|decendents|ancestors]
|labels=(+/-)label
|types=(+/-)[space|page|news|attachment]
|sort=[natural title|exact title|space key|space name|creation date|modification date|view count|first view date|last view date] (asc/desc)
|maxResults=X
|loadfromcachetime=86400
)
(tracking-table)
loachfromcachetime would mean that only if the amount of given time since creation/update is passed (i.e. 86400s = 24h) the operation is executed against the database again. Else the old result is just read out of the database...
This would be great when you have many tracking-tables in your standard page...

Is there a macro which gives count of the number of unique users who have visited a particular page . The current tracking macro increments the view count for the page refreshes and even if the same user visits the same given page again during a day span , the view count is incremented for the page . If someone can tell me how can I get view count of unique visitors , it would be really nice.
Thanks,
Rohan

I want to track the download of some file attachments.
Here is my scenario. I have a file foo.zip attached to a page in a space. I added my tracking-table to that page.
I've clicked the foo.zip attachment, and downloaded it using the links on that page, as well as links directly to foo.zip from other pages. The statistics for the file never change or update.
I've logged out and logged back in to make sure the "most recent editor" thing doesn't cause a problem.
Ideas? Am I missing something? I do see stats in the tracking table for some images, etc.
Thanks,
Guerry

If no, Is there any way by which the hit count can get incremented even when the attachment is viewed directly?
Thanks,
