Audit logs with rest API

[Leonard Chew]

Hi all

I would like to use the Jira REST API to get some specific audit log data of a few projects with sensitive data.
I have seen, that the service to get the audit data is deprecated on my current version Jira 9.4.4:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.4.4/#api/2/auditing-getRecords

Does anyone know if there is an alternative to the depricated method?

For anyone with the same problem...

I have contacted Atlassian Support with this issue.

It appears that since Jira 8.8 with the major changes to the auditing mechanism, a new API for the audit log has been created and the old API has been deprecated.

The new Auditing API has not been migrated to the general API, which generates confusion.

So here is the answer:

OLD Audit API: 

• /rest/api/2/auditing/record

NEW Audit API: 

• /rest/auditing/1.0/events

The Documentation for the NEW API is here: 

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracore/audit-log-improvements-for-developers-1019401815.html

Atlassian Support has opened a Ticket to move the new Audit API into the general Jira REST API:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-75622
