The Coveo Legacy connector for Atlassian Confluence allows Coveo administrators to index and integrate the content of Confluence Wiki sites and spaces into the Coveo unified index, making it easily searchable by end-users.

Note: CES 7.0.8225+ (March 2016) A second-generation Confluence connector is now available for Atlassian Confluence 5.7.x to 6.0.1 on-premises installations (see Atlassian Confluence V2 Connector) . For versions supported by both connectors (5.7.x to 5.8.5), it is strongly recommended to use the latest one since the second version of the connector supports the incremental refresh and has significantly better crawling performance, among other things.

Document-level security

  • Requires the Coveo plug-in for on-premises Confluence instances.

  • Not supported for Confluence Cloud

Features

The Confluence connector features are:

  • Extraction and indexing of all Confluence item types:

    • Spaces

    • Wiki pages

    • News items (blog posts)

    • Comments

    • Attachments (binary documents)

  • Extraction and indexing of document permissions (supports LDAP integrations, including Active Directory).

  • Extraction and indexing of labels.

  • Supports the Confluence security model by indexing document permissions (for on-premises deployments when the plugin is installed) so that in Coveo search interfaces, a user searching Confluence content only sees the content to which he has access in Confluence.

Note: The Coveo search interface includes a Quick View of Confluence content and provides Confluence specific facets based on spaces, object types (Page, Comment...), and labels.

Limitations

  • The Confluence connector does not support incremental refresh. A source full refresh is required to update the source content.

  • If you change the name of a space in Confluence, a full refresh detects the change only for pages created or modified following the change. You must rebuild the source to get the space name change on all space pages.
