Summary
To get more statistics from Confluence. Confluence has several plugins that you can use for generating statistics.
Solution
Use the SQL for Confluence plugin and {chart} macro together.
Our user community has contributed some great SQL queries.
The Reporting add-on contains macros which allow powerful and flexible reporting on Confluence content and content from other locations.
Write User Macro like the {countpages} macro, which counts the number of pages in a space.
Use the Contributors and Contributors Summary macros to get more details regarding the contributors for required pages.
Use the simple Viewtracker plugin to track page or blog views and viewers.
In addition, Confluence has a built-in access logging mechanism, which shows who has logged in and the URL invoked. To enable it, you need to modify a couple of configuration files and restart Confluence. The traditionally generated access log can then be analyzed by one of the available access log analyzer tools such as Webalizer, Google Analytics or AwStats which can generate useful statistics.
