Confluence Connector for eDiscovery & Data Collection
Collect Confluence pages, spaces, attachments, and metadata for eDiscovery, compliance, and investigations without IT bottlenecks. The Onna + Confluence Connector lets you access data across your organization on a defensible, unified platform.
Why Connect Confluence to Your eDiscovery Collections Platform
Confluence is where organizations store critical institutional knowledge: documentation, decisions, project plans, and collaborative content. When legal or compliance events arise, this data must be accessible, complete, and defensible.
Without the right tools, collecting from Confluence is harder than it should be:
Content spans across spaces, pages, and hierarchies
Attachments and embedded files are tied to page context
Permissions restrict access to specific users or spaces
Page relationships (parent/child) impact data completeness
The Onna + Confluence Connector enables scalable, defensible collection directly via API. Organizations can collect entire sites, individual spaces, or specific pages while preserving structure, relationships, and metadata.
Confluence Connector Capabilities
The Onna + Confluence Connector is designed for structured knowledge capture at scale.
Secure authorized connection via API or credentials
Full site and space-level collection support
Audit logs for all collection activity
Admin-level access for comprehensive data retrieval
Resumable sync for large environments
Multiple sync modes (one-time, auto-sync, archive sync)
Source holds support for preservation workflows
Resumable sync for large environments
Granular space and page-level collection targeting
These capabilities allow organizations to collect structured knowledge repositories efficiently while maintaining defensibility.
What Data Can Be Collected from Confluence
The connector captures both structured content and associated metadata from Confluence environments, including:
Content Types
Entire Confluence sites
Specific spaces
Embedded links in email messages
Individual pages
HTML-rendered page content
Collaboration Data
Page comments
Labels and tags
Page hierarchies (parent/child relationships)
Files and Attachments
Attachments linked to pages
Embedded documents and files
These collections preserve the full context of knowledge workflows, enabling investigators to reconstruct decision-making and collaboration across teams.
Confluence Metadata Collected
In addition to standard file metadata, the connector captures Confluence-specific metadata fields including:
Space ID and space name
File path and folder structure
Page ancestry (parent-child relationships)
Attachment ancestry (parent page relationships)
Labels associated with pages and files
This metadata enables reconstruction of content lineage, ownership, and organizational structure across Confluence environments.
