Confluence 2.9 Documentation

Index

In Confluence version 2.3 and later, statistics on each space's activity are available. These include:

  • How many pages and news posts have been
    • viewed
    • added
    • edited
  • Which content is the most popular (i.e. most frequently viewed)
  • Which content is the most active (i.e. most frequently edited)
  • Which people are the most active contributors/editors of content

To view a space's activity,

  1. Go to the 'Browse Space' view. There are two ways to browse a space:

    • Go to a page in the space and select the option you want from the 'Browse' menu. The corresponding tab of the 'Browse Space' view will open.
    • Or click the icon next to the space name on the Dashboard. The 'Pages' tab of the 'Browse Space' view will open.


  2. Go to the 'Activity' tab.


The number of pages and news posts that have been viewed, added and edited will be displayed graphically, showing trends over a period of time, e.g.:

Screenshot : Number of viewed pages and news posts in a week


The top 10 most popular and most active pages and/or news posts will be listed, with a link to each, e.g.:

Screenshot : Popular content

If your Confluence site is clustered, Space Activity will not be available.

    Is there a way to show the  top 10 most popular and most active pages on another page somewhere?  I would like to put that info via a macro on another page.

    I'm looking for a way to list all users who have accessed (view, edit, comment) a page within a space.  The closest thing I've found is the contributors-summary command which has an option to limit the scope to a particular page, but it doesn't have the option to count and identify those who merely view the page.  This is an important feature that we need.  I think the command could be "tweaked" to have the option of including views since it can capture "edits" as well as "edited" counts.  The view option seems that it would be an easy change(my guess).

    Hi,
    If a page is very active, and then later it is deleted, will the activity page still show it for the timeframe that it was active? (assuming that it was one of the most active).

    thanks,

    I've been looking at the sources for the usage stats and I'm a bit confused. I know that these stats aren't stored in the confluence DB. They seem to be stored in an index file that's accessed by Lucene? Where is this index file stored? Does lucene do the logging (writing) into this index file or is there some kind of logger that writes usage events from confluence into that file?

      Hi Kevin,

      The plugin that does the job for tracking Confluence activity is Usage Tracking Plugin. You might want to study the source of this plugin to understand more on the indexing mechanism and the implementation of Confluence listener plugin.

      As far as I am concerned, the data is stored as Lucene Index File Format that resides in the <confluence-home>/index/plugin/usage directory. You can try to use Luke to view the contents of those index files.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Azwandi
