Confluence server CPU goes to 90-100% and will be down with thread struck errors

[Venkat Prasad]

Confluence System Down due to Page View Plugin. If we generate Space and Page Statistics for all the Spaces Confluence server CPU goes to 90-100% and will be down with thread struck errors. Attaching logs.

We escalated this issue to Atlassian, they suggest us to disable this plugin. Please investigate and let us know how to proceed on this!

As per our analysis, problem is with plugin admin settings page! earlier access was given to all space admins.

So that was killing the Confluence Server.

For now we have we removed access to space admins for plugin admin settings page.

Appreciate if any other suggestions or workarounds.

@Venkat Prasad can you confirm it was in relation to the "Allow space administrators access to Page view statistics page" Option?
