Getting Started with Viewtracker

How many users have viewed a specific Confluence page? Are they logged-in or anonymous users?
How often has a specific space or content been viewed in comparison to others?
Who are the most active users (contributors) per space?
Which content has not been visited or should be updated?
Which attachments are viewed or downloaded?
Which Confluence searches return no results?
π₯ The data of all reports can be exported or accessed via API.
