Confluence has several plugins that you can use for generating statistics, such as:

  • Use the SQL and Chart plugins together. Read the Confluence Reporting HOWTO for information about the reporting capabilities of Confluence, including the {sql} macro, charting and security.
  • The Reporting Plugin contains macros which allow powerful and flexible reporting on Confluence content and content from other locations.
  • Customware's Tracking Plugin 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.
    • Try using the tracking-info macro to track the number of times an attachment is downloaded
  • Make user macros like countpages, which counts the number of pages in a space.
  • Use the Contributors and Contributors Summary macros to get more details regarding the contributors for required pages.
  • Statistical Analysis Plugin from Adaptavist, is another cluster-ready, enterprise scalable third-party plugin.
  • The Google Analytics plugin offers trends from Google Analytics. For more information on using Google Analytics and Confluence you may wish to refer to this blog post by David Simpson.
  • Use the simple viewtracker Plugin to track page or blog views and viewers.

In addition, Confluence has a built-in access logging mechanism, which shows who has logged in and the URL invoked. To enable it, you need to modify a couple of configuration files and restart Confluence. The traditionally generated access log can then be analysed by one of the available access log analyser tools such as Webalizer, Google Analytics or AwStats which can generate useful statistics.
