Viewing Space Activity

Note that the space activity information is disabled by default. See notes below.

If enabled, the space activity screen displays statistics on the activity in each space. These include:

How many pages and blog posts have been viewed, added or updated over a given period.
Which content is the most popular (most frequently viewed).
Which content is the most active (most frequently edited).
Which people are the most active contributors/editors of content.

To view the activity in a space:

Go to the 'Browse Space' view. There are two ways to browse a space:
- Go to a page in the space and select the option you want from the 'Browse' menu. The corresponding tab of the 'Browse Space' view will open.
- Or click the icon next to the space name on the Dashboard. The 'Pages' tab of the 'Browse Space' view will open.
Go to the 'Activity' tab.

Confluence will show a graphic display of the number of pages and blog posts that have been viewed, added and edited, showing trends over a period of time. For example:

Screenshot 1: Number of viewed pages and blog posts in a week

The top ten most popular and most active pages and/or blog posts will be listed, with a link to each.

Notes

The Confluence Usage Stats plugin, which provides the 'Space Activity' screen, is known to cause performance problems on large installations. This plugin is disabled by default. A status report on the progress of the performance issues with this plugin is available in this issue: USGTRK-15.
Your Confluence system administrator can enable the plugin, but please be aware of the possible impact upon your site's performance.
The plugin is sometimes called 'Confluence Usage Tracking'.
If your Confluence site is clustered, the space activity information will not be available.
