      Atlassian update - March 2022

      The Confluence Usage Stats plugin provides basic page view tracking in Confluence in the Space Activity tab. We know that usage tracking is important to you, however, the current implementation is disabled by default as it can have a noticeable impact on your site's performance.

      We plan to remove this feature in Confluence 8.0. Significant work is required to make this feature compatible with Confluence 8.0, and the functionality is largely superseded by Analytics, which was added in Confluence Data Center 7.11.

      Analytics provides a significantly better analytics experience and will continue to be available for Data Center customers in Confluence 8.0.

      Feel free to comment on this issue if this change will have a significant impact on your Confluence site.

            [CONFSERVER-57612] Plans to end support for Usage Stats

            It was very disappointing to discover that this had been ripped from Server version. We're already being pushed off and having to choose between Data Center or Cloud, and now you are removing features when we try to stay up to date in preparation for migration to Cloud?!

            What about Server version? It seems analytics is only available for Data Center.

            Thank you

            Thanks for your feedback on this issue. We've heard you, and will make no changes to Usage stats in Confluence 7.0.

            I'm going to change the status on this issue to 'Not being considered'.

            I agree Thomas Egger.  I would actually prefer to have more statistics available rather than none at all.

            Some of our customers want to know how often a page is used. This includes an overall pageview count and also information about when it has been viewed for the last time. The latter is an indication if the page should be review/deleted.

            Echoing what has already been said above; please support the features you develop, and if they are not going to receive support, then please provide an alternative. Many thanks!

            Boo!   Can I down vote this issue? 

            PLEASE replace this macro with something else if you're going to get rid of it.  Those of us without server admin access can't see how our spaces are being used any other way.  We need something.
