Getting Started
Nightfall DLP for Confluence offers a cloud-native data leak protection solution that monitors and protects any sensitive data from leaking.
Nightfall can scan all Confluence assets (attachments, comments, spaces, blogs, and pages). Scans will include archived items, but not deleted items. Only fields of type free-text fields are scanned.
Go through the following steps before you can configure policies on your implementation of Nightfall DLP for Confluence.
Confluence Page Restrictions
Nightfall throws an error while scanning certain pages/spaces in your Confluence instance. This issue is related to certain custom page permission restrictions for those specific Confluence pages. With base page restrictions set, the Nightfall app is unable to view edits on these page.
When Page restrictions are set on a page/space, our app is no longer able to see it, so when scanning is attempted on items from that page, our API requests fail. For a short term solution, you can add our app 'Nightfall DLP for Confluence' to have 'View' access on the page.
Note: We are currently working on a longer term solution for this issue, and are in discussion with Atlassian directly
If you are not seeing these pages being scanned and want to check if this restriction is in place, this can be checked as seen below:

If you have any questions about these restrictions, or are unsure how to workaround, please file a support ticket with us, or you can reach out to support@nightfall.ai.

Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the ask query parameter, and the optional goal query parameter:
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/confluence/getting_started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
ask is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
goal is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
