How to check if the links on a page are valid?
Asked by Dmitri Bukovski:

Hi, I've got a space that hasn't been updated for a long time and I need to migrate some of its contents to another space. The problem is that since the content hasn't been updated for years, I have grave doubts that many links are already dead.

Can anybody suggest me what can I try to check the links?

So far my approach is to get body.view from all pages in a given space and extract all links from it. The problem is that the number of links makes it unfeasible to check them manually, so what I want is to try some Python script to iterate over them.

import requests  
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

r = requests.get(link, auth = HTTPDigestAuth(user, password))  
code = r.status_code  
print(code)

My first attempt was to simply use requests library to get the status codes, but it appears that no matter what link I pass there - I get "200" status, even when I look up for non-existing page.


Answers:
author: Dmitri Bukovski
body: later I realized that all requests return 200 as my requests were redirected to the authentication page. I updated the code with proper authentication and now it works as intended. Maybe someone will find it useful for similar task too.

```
import getpass
import urllib3


agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) 
         AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) 
         Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

passwd = getpass.getpass("type your password: ")

def link_runner_auth(link):

    http = urllib3.PoolManager()
    headers = urllib3.make_headers(basic_auth=f'user_id:{passwd}', 
                                   user_agent=agent)
    try:
        response = http.request('GET', link,headers=headers).status
        time.sleep(0.5)
        print(f'{link} ---- {response}')

     except KeyboardInterrupt:

         print("Keyboard interrupt")

    except:

        response = print(f'{link} ---- ERROR')

return response

I'm using Confluence Cloud; Confluence 1000.0.0-059a976a67c0


Answers:
author: Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_
body: Hi [@Gregory Bonk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5100606) , welcome to the Community!

I have just tried this myself on Confluence Cloud and it works fine for me - you will need to 'exit' the command after the () which you can do by adding a space. The same will be needed if you are copying and pasting this into a document.

If you are seeing an 'unrefined' error then it cannot find the page - is the spelling and bracket format definitely correct? Is the page you are trying to link to definitely published, and with the correctly saved title?

How can I populate Confluence form fields with data from ServiceNow? ...
Asked by Chris Meisenzahl:

I'm pretty new to this. And I have access to the SN REST API.

What I'd like to do is read a value a user enters into a Confluence form field like "ABC123" and then use that value to request additional info for that ticket from SN.  

Then I could fill in other fields on the Confluence form using REST API calls to SN.

For example, I know the ticket number is "ABC123" ...

Then I can populate the date and subject fields in Confluence.

Thanks very much in advance!

Email Report - Pull data from other boards
Asked by Nina Medlock:

Hello,

I am trying to set up a daily email to our team showing open cards in multiple Queues.

I was able to create this command on my board:

![2021-11-10_11-39-58.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/168825i177C6BFCA6521758/image-dimensions/482x557?v=v2 "2021-11-10_11-39-58.png")

I was wondering if there was a way to pull data from another team member's board and include it on the same report email? For example, could I write a command like this:

#### create a report in variable "TEAMMEMBER_Queue" with all cards in list "Queue" on board "TEAM MEMBER TASKS" {#toc-hId--510133012}


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hi Nina! I don't believe it's possible to create butler reports that span multiple boards (I could be wrong thoug!). Someone might be able to provide a better solution, but here's a couple of options that come to mind:

1. Create a master report board and use Butler to copy the relevant cards from your boards into the master board. Then, create the report from that master board. At the end of each day, you can get butler to archive those cards.

2. Use a reporting tool like Blue Cat reports. You can create custom reports across multiple boards and setup recurring emails.

Hope that helps!

comments: author: Nina Medlock
body: Thanks Hannah! I was looking into Blue Cat as well. Just wanted to see if it was possible through automations first. :) Thanks again!

I post a new card, everyone could see it but the administrator. Why?
Asked by Carlos Rivera:

I post a new card, everyone could see it but the administrator. Why?


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hey Carlos! Welcome to the community ? If the person is an admin of the workspace, they should be able to see all boards/cards within that workspace. Of the person is an admin of just the board, they should be able to see all cards in that particular board. Can you try grabbing the URL of this card and send it to the admin to see if they can access it? Perhaps the admin has a filter on the board?

Live display of PPT slide
Asked by Adrian Bridges:

Hi ..I am new to Confluence .. and want to create a page which has "live" display of eg . a powerpoint slide .. or part of an excel spreadsheet .. such that updates to either are automatically shown on the confluence page . ..  

is there a simple way that a novice can achieve that .. or am I asking for something that is not possible ?


Answers:

body: Hi [@Adrian Bridges](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5100420) welcome to Community!

You can save attachements like a PPT or an Excel sheet to a Confluence page, but they won't be updated if you change them elsewhere (like on your Sharepoint).

Can you describe your use case a bit more? For example, why would adding the content from the powerpoint or Excel directly to the Confluence page not work for you? Are the people preparing the ppt/Excel uncomfortable using Confluence, or do they not have access?

Data residency in Germany, but IP in Netherlands
Asked by Matthias Limbacher:

Hi \*

we were happy to see that data residency in Germany was made possible and we switched a few weeks ago.

However, a colleague pinged the IP resolved from our site URL and found out via who is that this IP is located in the netherlands.

Some people here are now alerted about what to think about data residency and I could not give an appropriate answer.

Could you please give an insight why we see a Dutch IP address.

Thanks  
Matthias


Answers:
author: Charlie Misonne
body: Hi Matthias,

Checking the location of an IP address is not the right way check for data residency. But I understand some users my think this is the way to go.

Where your IP is located has little to do with where the location of the physical harddisks are.  
Personally I do not know how Atlassian manages IPs, DNS and network traffic. All I know is they use AWS infrastucture and your data would be in a German Amazon data center.

**The accuracy of IP location is questionable** . Several online services keep a database of IP address locations and they will sometimes report different information. For example: I checked the IP of my own Atlassian Cloud instance and ran it through this service: <https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup>. 3 databases tell me the IP is from the Netherlands, 5 tell me it is from Germany.  
Perhaps some of these databases do not reflect recent information.  
Atlassian has a range of IP addresses they can use and they probably use them accross countries and sites. I doubt they use a single IP per Atlassian site or customer.

Related article: [IP addresses and domains for Atlassian cloud products](https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/ip-addresses-and-domains-for-atlassian-cloud-products/)

To check your data residency setting go to admin.atlassian.com -\> select your organization -\> Security -\> Data residency

If you are still having doubts about this you can contact Atlassian.

How to put page status to all the pages available in confluence space at once ?
Asked by Rahul Khatal:

Hello,

I am working on organizing a local space , the challenge i have is to audit it, there are several 100 pages which have been created and unfortunately there is no status feature that was used when the pages were created to know whether the CONTENT - is Up to date , Relevant, Obsolete, Need to update, In use, Can be archived, No longer use etc.

I want to first conduct an audit to know from the team what all pages are in use, can be archived, need update etc. for which i need to have this option enabled which unfortunately on the Server/Data center is not available in Space settings :(

Can anyone help me on what approach should i use to first get the STATUS featured for all pages so that i can ask the team members to update as per the current context and second how can i site map the entire space so that i get to see status of each pages in one overview.
