How to I disable analytics fully?

Question

I'm getting this warning on browsers about analytics and it scares away people. I don't want to participate in any form of data collection either. The offending URL is: https:///rest/analytics/1.0/publish/bulk, that last "bulk" bit makes me cringe. Sounds like if somebody compared/treates people like nameless livestock. It's awful. First I thought I did this myself because I went on a rampage trying out plugins, but after entering safe mode it's still there. Analytics in general [https:///plugins/servlet/analytics/configuration] is supposed to be disabled. There is no custom code applied to the site, the biggest customization was changing the color palette using the only customization tool available. Who or what is System Favorite Character anyway?! Looking for the settings I ran into that, but nothing, at least not obvious, about this. Thanks.

Hello @vitanetworks !

As I understand you need to deactivate the gathering of usage date in Confluence.

Currently, there is no “easy” way to remove the Analytics Plugin.

The procedure you finished keeps Confluence from sending Analytic data do Atlassian. What it does not is completely disable the gathering of data.

What you could do is manually disabling this plugin. There is documentation on how we can achieve this. Here it is:

Please, keep in mind that removing system plugins can result in unexpected behaviors or Confluence straight up not working.
