Understanding Site Statistics

Site Statistics allows you to view a breakdown of pages and editing activity on your Confluence instance.

You can also choose to email your site statistics information to Atlassian, with the 'Mail Statistics' button. This may be useful for troubleshooting purposes, or when requesting Atlassian support. You can also review the data before it is sent (if you are concerned that it may contain sensitive information).

Viewing Confluence Site Statistics

To view Confluence Site Statistics,

  1. Log into Confluence as a user with Confluence Administrator or System Administrator permissions.
  2. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Site Statistics' under the heading 'Administration' in the left-hand panel.
  3. Click 'Load Statistics'. For a large Confluence installation, this may affect the server's performance. For this reason, we suggest you do this at a 'quiet time' for the system.
  4. Site Statistics will be displayed.

If the 'Site Statistics' option is not shown, you may have to install the Global Statistics Plugin. In this case, follow the instructions for installing plugins and look for the 'Global Statistics Plugin'.

For more information, read the complete Documentation for the Global Statistics Plugin.

If you want to view page-view statistics, this is possible with the SQL Plugin. Some examples are available on the Confluence Community Pages. Please note that some plugins are not officially supported by Atlassian.
