Identifying size of a confluence space
Asked by Pranjal Shukla:

Is it possible to identify cumulative size of all the pages in a space in KB or MB?

body: Not really. First, you need to define what size you're looking for? Raw-uncompressed text (as in characters on a page) should be possible, but that won't take account of macros that do things like "show one page in another". Or actually what's presented to the user? Or the size of what's stored in the database? etc.

It might be better to explain why you are asking this question - what use is the statistic to you?

body: Good Question Nic,

We have spaces categorized under Business Unit and every business unit has a business head. We would like to show how much work has been done under which business unit. The intent is also to ask teams that are lagging behind to speed up their documentation process.

I do have a macro which publishes total number of pages and number of blank pages in a space but that does not give a good picture as many pages have 1-2 lines of text ad few parent pages have children display macro.

I would like to present factual data that this much MB of data has been created under these business units since inception of Confluence.

I am fine with raw character size or size of space in DB. It should help me portray the progress till date.

body: I like the idea of a macro to publish the raw data, but I don't think there's one that does "word count for a range of pages". If a user macro could be written to do that, I think it would solve the problem (for this case, word count is more useful than number of pages, I think)

I think you might have to resort to the database, but I'm not sure it'll be easy. BodyContent is the table you'll want as the core of the query, but that doesn't directly contain which space a page is in, so you'll need to read a bit more to establish that. Then, I don't know who to find out how much space a specific row in a table takes up.  

So, I'm really sorry, I don't have a good answer for this one, just some vague thoughts about how to approach it. I did look for a "word count" add on or macro, but couldn't find one!
