Usage Tracking

[Gurpartap Sandhu]

Hi

Our team provides a certain service for our entire company. We have a space in confluence that we use as our team wiki. Its the most convient way to get the information to all the employees. I wanted to track the usage of our space and the trends over time. I came across this plugin

https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/USGTRK/Confluence+Usage+Tracking+Plugin

It does all we need but...

This plugin is disabled by default in 3.0 release of Confluence. It has has known performance problems in large installations. You need to re-enable in order to use it. For more information please refer to the 3.0 release notes. The plugin is not available in Confluence Clustered Edition. A status report on the progress of the performance issues with this plugin is available here.

Is there a good alternative to this plugin? if not, how much of a performance issue is it?

Also can this plugin be enabled on a single space or does it have to be done for all of confluence?

There are a few of options available.

1. AppFusions' Google Analytics for Confluence plugin which works with Confluence 3.5 and 4.0 -- there's a live demo here
2. AppFusions' Webtrends Connector for Confluence
3. Adaptavist's Statistical Analysis plugin for Confluence 2.10 to 3.0.2

I did a presentation at the last London Atlassian User Group about "Analytics and Confluence" -- here's the slides and a video.

Disclosure: I wrote the first 2 plugins in the list above :)

Hi David,

are these plugins proper for measuring the page usage?

One of my project admin user needs to measure which pages are heavily used in his space. (In order to focus on developing the heavily used pages)

Best regards,
