Problem

Due to certain laws in countries like German, they are required to disable the Last week most activewhich keep track of user activity. While this is a system module that can't be disabled through UI, you can disable it through SQL query.

Workaround

    1. Stop your JIRA.

    2. Run the following SQL query:

      INSERT INTO pluginstate (pluginkey, pluginenabled) VALUES ('com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-page-most-active', 'false');

      Warning: Backup your database before proceeding.

      Before running any SQL in this article, create a full backup of your Confluence database. This is a database-level operation with no undo other than restoring from backup. Only proceed if you're comfortable running SQL directly against the Confluence database, and test on a staging or cloned environment first wherever possible.

    3. Restart your JIRA.

    4. Check if that particular Last week most active section still occurring.
