Hi Jill,
There are a number of areas where users could place external links within Canvas, but if you're primarily interested in looking in Pages content, there are a couple of ways to find them that I can think of:
If your institution uses Canvas Data (is there a Canvas Data Portal link in your account navigation?), this is probably the easiest/quickest way to find pages that mention these specific URLs. You could use a query roughly like this to find the pages (and it could be modified to try to get more course and instructor details):
select wiki_page_fact.parent_course_id, wiki_page_dim.canvas_id, wiki_page_dim.title
from wiki_page_dim, wiki_page_fact
where wiki_page_dim.id = wiki_page_fact.wiki_page_id
and (
wiki_page_dim.body like '%videomanager.du.edu%'
or
wiki_page_dim.body like '%wrangler.du.edu%'
);
Being able to actually run that query depends on your institution having access to Canvas Data, and having that data loaded and available in a database. If that's the case, I imagine that there would be someone there that would be able to help generate a report like this.
Another way would be to write a script that uses the Canvas REST API to find all of the pages in your instance and look for those URLs within the contents of each one of them. Depending on how many courses and pages exist in your instance, this could take some time to generate. A script like this could be written in any language that you or your technical staff are most comfortable with.
These are just a couple of rough ideas for how to approach the problem, and both would require a fair amount of technical expertise to accomplish. Hopefully they can give you an idea of the possibilities and help you find the next step in working with your institution to get the data you need.
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of the above!
