Confluence Premium: Site analytics timeframe

[Miriam Hopton]

Hello community!

We just upgraded to Confluence premium and excited about the new features that come with that upgrade. 

Topic: site analytics + can you go further on the default date range search? 

From what I see, it is a rolling 1 year timeframe and there is no way to change the date range to allow further or "all time". Before we upgraded, we were using a marketplace app and it pulled that timeframe and uninstalled it as now we have premium; hoping that would replace the app. We do not want to download a marketplace app and was just hoping if Atlassian had it on their roadmap to expand the date range and/or if anyone had other suggestions I am missing when navigating around the Site analytics. This is highly useful for users in Confluence and especially for auditing purposes; offboarding specifically. Knowing if there is page/anything to be aware about and transfer owners.

Any help or intel is appreciated!

Hey @Miriam Hopton ,

Unfortunately, there's no native option to show this data 🙁
There's a feature request for it CONFCLOUD-73401: Increase Analytics Data Retention, but it's been open for a while now.

I'm struggling with this myself as I would also like to see some older historical data, which Analytics just doesn't support :/

I haven't tested Home Dashboards though, to see if they support pulling out things older than 1 year ago 👀
Plus, Atlassian Analytics can probably visualize this, but it's an Enterprise app only. 

Cheers,
Tobi

Thank you @Tomislav Tobijas for sharing the feature request - I voted and following! 

I wish there was a way to see the data somewhere, even if stored in our own cloud. The other app we used prior to upgrading to premium was able to pull years of data. 

OH! Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about the dashboards in the beta features. I'm curious on this feature-set on the beta tools. Will venture into turning it on and seeing what is in the toolset.

Dang, Enterprise has so many more features - but we are no where near the size for enterprise. We have premium on our JSM and Confluence - hoping more features from Enterprise can be brought over for premium and smaller companies (my wish list!).

Appreciate you taking the time to message and learned something new! THANK YOU!

As far as I know that 1-year limit exists by design (legal reason? storage?) and there is no way to extend it. Not even on the Premium tier.

I am not sure which third party app you were using, but the Better Content Archiving and Analytics app collects and stores updates and views forever. There is no limitation.

You can analyze views (since the beginning) for each single content:

And also in the content analytics, user engagement  and other reports.
