confluence attachment information

[Hsu Yao Chang]

Dear Support Team, 

Would it be possible to find out how many attachments deleted / added / modified in a month? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

If you want an easier solution you could use a paid 3rd party application like ScriptRunner which provides a CQL macro and CQL search bar.

So you could do a CQL search, something like:

created > startOfMonth() and type = attachment and space = ds

This will return some numbers, but if you want a graphical chart you can just input the numbers in a chart.

If you want it automated with a chart you will probably have to try and find a 3rd party application on the Confluence marketplace or write something yourself.

Dear Christo, 

If the attachment is not shown , can we search by *.* to list all attachments in some space? I try  it, but it can not work. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Not sure if you are refering to CQL or a normal search.

To list all the attachments of a specific space via CQL simply use:

type = attachment and space = ds

CQL supports wild-cards but I suggest you look at the documentation.

To show all the attachments in a space via a traditional search, you don't need to type anything in the search bar, just use the filters on the side bar.

Confluence provides a half decent search functionality which would at the very least supply some of the information you are after. 

Alternatively if you are a bit more technical you can make rest calls using the Confluence Rest API and CQL which should get you the information you require.
