How to identify users using Jira REST API

[AHMADI ISLEM]

Hello, 

I'm Jira admin, and in order to improve our data center instance stability using rate limiting i need to identify users that are using the most Jira Rest API. 

Is there a way to find this information?

Hi @AHMADI ISLEM ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You can check jira security log https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-analyze-the-atlassian-jira-security-log-file-1235850909.html , export this data into a spreadsheet and group by username. It will give some understanding who uses the APIs the most.

Hi @AHMADI ISLEM if the method from Max doesn't work you can also try this:

1. Going in to the Jira administration panel

2. Navigate to System Logs

3. Use the search functionality to filter for "Rest API"

4. You can then see which users are making the most calls.
