Get Confluence System Info from REST API

Problem Definition

Unable to get application version from REST API

Suggested Solution

Include option in REST API to pull server info like in JIRA & Bitbucket
http://<base-url>/jira/rest/api/latest/serverInfo
<base-url>/bitbucket/rest/api/latest/application-properties

Solution

Starting from 6.15.8, you can use the Atlassian troubleshooting plugin endpoint:

/rest/troubleshooting/1.0/pre-upgrade/info

This will contain the Confluence version number as well as some other useful parameters. The user needs to be authenticated to access this endpoint.
