Confluence provides stastical information about its internal caches that allows you to track the size and hit ratio of each cache and tune it if necessary, for better performance. See Performance Tuning for more information.

To view the cache statistics, go to the 'Administration Console' and click on 'Cache Statistics' in the left panel. Here, you will find a list of all object cached within Confluence. For example, one of the main one is the ContentEntityObject

com.atlassian.confluence.core.ContentEntityObject (Alive): flush

_____________________ACCESSES__________________

Size Total Hits Not Found Expired Ratio
5000 24827480 11332536 13494944 0 45%

About the generated numbers :

Size: the max number of items in the cache (can be configured in ehcache.xml)
Accesses, Total: the number of reads from the cache
Accesses, Hits: the number of reads accessing cache and required content existed
Accesses, Not Found: the number of reads accessing cache and required content was not-found
Accesses, Expired: the number of items which were evicted from the cache, due to age or replacement by new entries (timeout or expired)
Ratio: the percentage of reads which were hits

For instance to calculate Ratio :

Hits/Total x 100 = Ratio

11332536/24827480 = 0.45645131 x 100 = 45%

and to calculate Total :

Total = Hits + Not Found + Expired

24827480 = 11332536 + 13494944 + 0

flush - clears cache

The upcoming new release of cluster-able Confluence 2.3 will be using distributed cache called Tangosol Coherence.
