How do we evaluate use of add-on's in confluence?

[Tejaswini Donga]

Need to find out which addon's were in use and which are not

Hi @Tejaswini Donga 

Welcome to the community!

Most of add-ons in Confluence add macros. You can check macros usage on pages. Confluence list all macros from plugins and show where it is used. If no macros are used from specific project (Confluence shows what macros are from what add-on), then is there a big chance that add-on is not used.

More info: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/macros-139387.html#Macros-Macrousagestatistics

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Macros are only one thing apps can add to 

There's no way to know what an app is doing for a user unless the vendor has built some form of logging into it.

Apart from macros, you're going to need to look at each app, work out if and how it might be recording activity (if at all) and read whatever it is doing.
