Is there a way to sync Confluence with a github repo?
Asked by Justin Donn:

I'm looking to write documentation in confluence and upload the pages to a github repo.

Understandably, this is a weird question, but my boss wants all documentation in a repository that we can all have on our PCs in case something critical happens and we lose access to 3rd party documentation services. Whether or not this is reasonable, it is a constraint I have and I much prefer to document in confluence over hundreds of txt files


Answers:
author: James Tang
body: Gitbook has a feature to synchronize Github repo to Gitbook or vice versa. Gitbook can display markdown file but not many other formats.


author: Diego
body: Hello [@Justin Donn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4127238) !

This does sounds like quite a limiting constraint. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any native or Third-party plugin in our marketplace that would allow for this to happen.

I believe, however, that Zapier would be capable of achieving this:
> * [++***\[Zapier\] GitHub + Confluence Cloud Integrations***++](https://zapier.com/apps/github/integrations/confluence-cloud)

There is also this pretty manual procedure that seems to enable something similar to what you need to achieve:

Is there a limit to the number of requirements when using the confluence requirements template?
Asked by Vishal Kulkarni:

1. I have added about 75 product requirements in confluence using the confluence product requirements template. Once I publish the page it displays only 41 requirements on the confluence page.
2. Is there a limit to how many requirements it can display or a setting I can change to display all requirements? Thank you.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Vishal Kulkarni](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4127072) !

The Product Requirements template does not have a hard limit on how many requirements you can add to the page.

The requirement list is contained within a table, so the 75 requirements you created should show up.

With this in mind, I create a page using this template and created 75 entries in the requirements table. Here is what I see:
> ![Screen-Recording-2020-10-20-at-1.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/114994iD35BF4AC746D7CCE/image-dimensions/281x226?v=v2 "Screen-Recording-2020-10-20-at-1.gif")

With this in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions for clarification:
> 1. *What happens if you create a new page using the same Product Requirements template and fill the requirements table with 75+ requirements?*
> 2. *What exactly is displayed after the 41st requirement?*
> 3. *Is this behavior present regardless of browser being used?*

Let us hear from you!

Page limit of Content by label macro
Asked by Vivek Singh:

Hi team,

I am using content by label macro on one of my pages in Confluence, but seems like we currently have a limit of 500 pages to show up as the result. Is there any other way of showing up pages beyond 500 limit?

Thank you,

Vivek Singh


Answers:
author: JimmyVanAU
body: Hi Vivek,

There's no native way to increase the limit. You should avoid it for performance reasons, or consider a better way of classifying pages.

If you did want to pursue this (noting potential performance impacts), then check out this post:

Is it possible to migrate the contents from one space to another?
Asked by Nipun Radhakrishnan:

Hi Team,

I need to move the contents inside one space to another space. Can you please guide me in this. We are in an on premise setup. I saw some post saying export the contents as XML and import. Is it possible to import from our local machine?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Nipun


Answers:
author: P_D_ Foerster
body: Hi Nipun,  
what contents are you talking about specifically?

You can copy or move pages including their attachments as well as child pages to another space. You can find details on that on the following pages.

* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/move-and-reorder-pages-146407727.html>
* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/copy-a-page-139013.html>

comments: author: Nipun Radhakrishnan
body: Hi Patrice,

Thank you for your reply. I am basically looking to move the KB documents maintained under 1 space to another space. There are multiple pages under the space and i need to move all those KB documents to a new space.

Regards

Nipun


author: P_D_ Foerster
body: Hey Nipun,  
then my initial answer is the way to go. I recommend putting the page structure you want to move under one parent page. Then move this parent page to your new space. All sub-pages with their content are moved. Blog posts are an exception since they don't belong to this structure.

How to Monitor Confluence server logs and plugin performance using opensource tool
Asked by Pandiyan M:

Hi All,

Am using confluence 7.4, would like to monitor confluence log (atlassian-confluence.log) using Grafana UI. At present using "Troubleshooting and support tools" log analyzer to view logs.

May I know how can we monitor "atlassian-confluence.log" \& server health check using grafana ?


Answers:
author: Daniel Ebers
body: Hi Pandiyan,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This is a great question where regularly discussions spin around.

I'd recommend you to have a read [through a great monitor article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Monitoring-of-Atlassian-applications-with-Prometheus/ba-p/811100) that still applies. Especially the discussion that have been around might address your inquiry.

In Community you also find some further topics dealing with monitoring questions like this, for example "[How are you monitoring your Atlassian stack?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-discussions/How-are-you-monitoring-your-Atlassian-stack/m-p/727529#M2302)" as well as a [discussion](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Monitoring-JIRA-logs-with-Splunk/qaq-p/1331749) around Splunk.

LINKS TO FOLDER IN CHROME?
Asked by Alberto Corominas:

Hi,

i need create links to folder in server directories but its not possible in chrome, but in IE yes, confluence open a new window based on Windows Explorer with the content of the folder or directly the file.

Its be possible? Some solution or workaround?

Many Thanks


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Alberto Corominas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3786102) !

As I understand, you need to place links that download files directly from a file server.

First thing I would like to address is that Internet Explorer is not supported by any of the Atlassian Cloud solutions. You can check the list of supported browsers here:
> * [++***\[Atlassian Cloud\] Supported Browsers***++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/supported-browsers-744721663.html)

Moving further, we can see that similar requests have been made here in our Community. One of them is under this link:
> * [++***\[Atlassian Community\] Linking to large files on Synology NAS***++](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Linking-to-large-files-on-Synology-NAS/qaq-p/1460898)

This other one shows more of the reason as to why Chrome does not allow special protocols to be linked:

Here we have some sources that are external to our Community that talk about the new security improvements that removed this type of link:

Customer access to knowledge
Asked by aynura.nasibova:

Hello,

We use Confluence and Jira Service Desk.

We have this problem:

After we merged Jira Software and Jira Service Desk we had a problem with customer access to the knowledge base (space) in Confluence. We have integration Jira Service Desk and Confluence. If we provide anonymous read access then the client sees, but for security reasons we cannot do it (I mean that only a certain category of customer (organization) should have access to this space, and not anyone who entered the link).

We considered this option: we need to create a group of users (customers) for this space and give permission. In this case we are faces with the following point: is it possible to integrate a group of customers from Service Desk to Confluence, or will it be necessary to manually create each customer in Confluence?

Thanks for helping!

Copy paste operation messes text colour and numeration
Asked by Sergey Kurguzenkov:

New editor coninues to deliver new UX.

A have a text, that I want to copy and paste.

![1.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/114390iBA0C00788C63EE61/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1.png")

![2.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/114391i2E275C2C67FAA1A0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2.png")

It is black and autonumerated. Strange, but paste as plain text pastes the text with correct autonumeration (which I still do not need), but the text is obviously black.

What should I do to perform that simple operation and not have the text autonumerated and not have the text changing its colour?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Sergey Kurguzenkov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3391706) !

I was able to reliably replicate this behavior on my own Confluence Site.

> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] CONFCLOUD-70956 - Pasting colored text into Confluence loses original color formatting](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70956)***++
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] CONFCLOUD-70957 - Copying and pasting lists into confluence yields inconsistent results](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70957)***++

Currently, there is no solution to them other than manually fixing the formatting that was not carried over.

Also, I advise you do to go into the reports to vote and watch them. Voting helps to increase the report visibility and watching it will keep you up to date with everything that is posted there.

These are just assumption based on logs, but with more information we will be able to better diagnose this.

Confiforms JIRA Issue field not working in Form Filter Control
Asked by Jason Walsh:

Looking for help with being able to filter by a "JIRA Issue" field against a table view macro. I currently have a few filters tied to the table and they all work well. User field filters as well as text ones. I capture the JIRA issue as a field and it displays in the table as hyperlink. When I edit the record, the JIRA Key appears in the text box (ie: JIR-123) with a popup box underneath with the JIRA details. however, my table doesn't return the record. Is there something special that has to be set up for a JIRA link field?

Selectively include table contents from other pages via macro/plugin
Asked by James Sedman:

Hi all, I am trying to work out how to selectively include rows from tables in child pages into a 'master' table in the parent page. This idea is similar to the included 'task report' macro included with Confluence, except not using tasks but taking rows from a table (the layout of Task Report does not fit my needs).

So, is it possible to grab certain rows of tables from child pages in a macro and compile that into a new table? Whether or not a row is selected would be done based off a column in the table


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@James Sedman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4125863) ,

Recently we've posted a blog post that covers your use case - [How to Create Reports with Multiple Confluence Tables](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2020/10/how-to-create-reports-from-multiple-confluence-tables/).

With the help of the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app, you'll be able to collect tables with multiple rows across you Confluence instance, space, or page tree branch. There are no any limitations like with the standard Page Properties Report macro that works only with one-row tables.

And you'll also be able to filter your combined table to show only the required rows and hide specific columns that you don't need at the moment.

Check if the app has been already installed for your Confluence instance (look for the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro), [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro), [Table Excerpt](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros in the macro browser) or start your free one month trial of the add-on.

body: Hi, try the page properties macro, you add a table to the macro then use the page properties report to compile the data. You will only be able to have one row per page however.
