Confluence automation usage

When a Confluence automation rule runs successfully, that is, it performs at least one action, it counts as an execution. Each successful rule execution counts only once toward usage, even if the rule performs multiple actions. If a rule is triggered but fails without performing an action, it does not count as an execution.

Monitoring automation usage

Usage is important to monitor if your plan is limited to a certain number of rule executions per month.

Confluence admins can view statistics on usage:

1. Select the wheel icon () in the top-right corner to open Confluence administration.

2. Find Admin tools in the left-hand navigation.

3. Select Automation.

4. Select the Usage tab.

Usage limits by edition

Confluence Enterprise has an unlimited number of executions. Keeping an eye on usage can help flag problems like when a rule is failing (usage drops) or running more than expected (usage increases), but there’s no need to patrol the specific number of executions your team is using.

Confluence Premium is limited each month to a pooled sum that’s equivalent to 1,000 rule executions for every user. For example if your Confluence instance has 2,000 users, you have a total of 2 million rule executions every month [2,000 users x 1,000 executions = 2,000,000 available rule executions each month]. If your team hits the number of allotted executions, your rules will fail to run until usage renews on the first of the following month. Unused executions from the previous month will not roll over.

Confluence Standard is limited each month to a total of 100 executions across all users.

Confluence Free comes with a monthly total of 10 executions across all users.
