Are you aware of any softward etc that will advise if a link is broken on Confluence?

[Leanne]

We currently use Confluence and woudl like to know if the system has teh ability via a plug in etc to advise if a link is broken before being told by staff etc?

Thanks Nicolas, I am aware of the Undefined pages however I was more looking for for a tool that check all links inc external. Appreciate your help.

Hi Leanne,

Have you simply tried "Undefined Pages" in your Space Admin? It tells you the pages which are linked to but don't exist. Of course, it doesn't display the list of external broken links.

Hey Leanne,

I'm not aware of any plugins that would do this, but there are ways to run an external tool that will check your Confluence system for link integrity.

One of our former Technical writers wrote a python script to do this: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2011/12/scanning-confluence-for-content-errors/

This same question is also asked here, and has some other answers: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/46717/is-there-any-way-to-run-a-report-of-internal-broken-links-in-confluence?page=1#47371

Thanks Joseph, I have passed on to our technical area.
