Getting Started
Learn how to get started with Nightfall DLP for Confluence.
Make sure the following requirements are fulfilled before you get started with installing Nightfall for Confluence.
- You must have an active Confluence implementation within your organization (URL of Confluence Instance)
- You must create a User with Administrator permissions within Confluence. Make sure to create a similar User with Administrator permissions in Nightfall.
- Confluence Admin will log into Confluence, find the Nightfall app in the marketplace and install it. Nightfall installs into your Confluence account as an Atlassian Connect app so the installation is completed in the Confluence UI.

Once you have completed these steps, log in to Nightfall dashboard and select the Confluence tab in the left sidebar to validate that the app is successfully installed.
Once you have installed the app successfully, please provide your Nightfall Account Manager with the base URL for your Atlassian instance. There are some backend configuration steps that are required upon installation, in order for the integration to function properly.
First, we will configure our Detection Rule that defines the types of sensitive data we are looking for in Confluence. The detection rule is the Nightfall aggregation of detectors and confidence levels/findings that will dictate whether a violation or finding is recorded.
We strongly recommend configuring a simple detection rule to start as follows:
Detector | Minimum Confidence | Minimum Count |
Credit Card Number | Likely | 1 |
US Social Security Number | Likely | 1 |
API Key | Likely | 1 |
Now that our Detection Rule has been created, we will create our Confluence policy that will use this Detection Rule.
Please follow the guide below to start using the Real-time scanning options for Confluence:
Similarly, if you would like to kick off a historical scan, follow the process outlined below:
If you would like to change the Confluence Site (e.g. newsite.atlassian.net) that Nightfall is connected to, please follow the steps below:

- 2.Notify Nightfall by emailing your Customer Success Manager or [email protected] with your new Confluence Site domain (e.g. newsite.atlassian.net), and your old/existing Confluence Site domain (e.g. oldsite.atlassian.net).
- 1.Nightfall will unlink your existing Confluence Site and link your new one.
- 2.Please do not run any scans during this time.
- 3.Once you have received confirmation from Nightfall that the re-linking process is complete, you can uninstall the Nightfall app from your old Confluence Site by clicking "Uninstall" on the app in your installed apps, as shown below. Please do not uninstall until you have received confirmation from Nightfall.
