Dynamic table population based on an uploaded CSV

Question

Given:

* a CSV of data to be displayed in a table
* a table structure

is it possible to:

* upload the CSV to the Confluence Cloud via a REST api, for example?
* configure the table to read the data from this uploaded CSV file?

The idea is to have a table which can display information about aspects of our infrastructure that can be automatically maintained *internally* and then made available on Confluence. I don't want to have to manually populate a Confluence table of servers, for example, when we have monitoring systems which can list it without intervention.

Ideally a native solution but would also look at Marketplace if that's the only way to achieve it.

Hello @Peter Bishop,

If your company uses our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app, you may use its Table from CSV macro.

It is possible to output data from a URL, and you won't need to manually refresh a CSV file (you will just need to refresh your Confluence page for the data from CSV to be actual).

Best regards,

Alexey

Hi Fabio.

According to the documentation, the table isn't updated if the CSV is updated so that won't deliver what I'm looking for.

Thanks anyway.

Peter

welcome to the Atlassian community!

You can use the following plugin https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224637/csv-file-to-table-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

Hope this helps,
