How do I enable Confluence Usage Stats system plugin for OnDemand?

It's a restricted function so you can't.

You could ask support to enable it for you, but it's disabled for good reasons and they may not do it.

Thanks Nic - Kind of weird to have disabled functionality visible to the user :smile: If it can't be used, then why am I torturing myself seeing it and thinking I might be able to use :laugh:

Well, it can be handy for debugging sometimes, and it's a hangover from an older version.

Atlassian have enabled it for me so all good - thanks for the response as well!

@Cian Leahy Has this plugin been working well for you and not causing the performance issues they warn about?

[Cian Leahy]

It's been fine to be honest (zero reports of problems) - but we have pretty low usage of our confluence product so I'm not sure if it's representative of others

Hi Cian,

Since the old usage stats plugin is restricted and inflexible (Atlassian don't appear to be enabling anymore) we created an add-on that provides some great usage statistics in Confluence Cloud. It includes an overview of activity but also the details like who has viewed a particular page.

You can find more information here: Analytics for Confluence Cloud

Hope it helps!
