IT configuration changes sometimes have unintended consequences, so it is good for stakeholders to know that 'someone' made a change to the system.Īt the risk of sounding like an advertorial (no I received no money for writing this) - Confluence is the tool that has had the most beneficial impact on our organization since we have introduced it. We want to know who made the change, what the change was and why. We have a procedure that all configuration changes to a certain IT system must be published. This allows stakeholders to be kept informed. If there's changed content, the users receive an email. Why on Confluence? Confluence allows users to subscribe to specific pages they are interested in.
In my case, I was trying to implement a sort of automatic logging on Confluence. Confluence also supports an old XMLRPC web standard, but today people tend to like working with REST. Fortunately, Confluence has a REST API that allows us to manipulate content on the server.
While there is a Command Line Program that allows you to make such updates, the CLI requires a paid plug in on the Confluence server. Unfortunately, the code will not work unmodified for the subscription-based SAAS Confluence product. If you or your organization is using the Confluence-Wiki Server product, and you would like to make programmatic changes to a specific page, you may' be interested in this article.
