The Confluence Usage Stats plugin, which governs the Activity tab, is known to have performance issues on large installations. In Confluence 3.0 and later, this plugin is disabled by default. A status report on the progress of the performance issues with this plugin is available here.

See How Do I Get More Statistics From Confluence for additional strategies on getting statistics from Confluence.

(info) In earlier versions of Confluence, this plugin was called 'Confluence Usage Tracking'.

If enabled, this plugin generates and displays statistics on the activity in each space. 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.

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