Jira audit log - Is it possible to view audit log for last 2-3 years?

Sandhya Paranjpe_o5qlf4

Is there any limit in Jira to preserve the audit log?

If I wish to see audit log for last year or even older to that is it possible?

As of today, I am not able to see audit log prior to 11 May 2020 even if I try to use the option to choose date range.

Hi @Sandhya Paranjpe

What tool are you using?

Sandhya Paranjpe_o5qlf4

I am using Jira Cloud.

I am using System -> Audit Log option to see the audit log.

Hi @Sandhya Paranjpe

You can try third-party solution Issue History. It lets you monitor the full changelog ordered by the time period you need (more than 180 days).

Hope it helps

Hi @Sandhya Paranjpe

You appear to be asking about the audit logs, and not the individual issue history. Is that correct?

If so, the Atlassian documentation indicates these logs are available for 180 days:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/audit-logging-970612562.html

You can access them via the admin UI or from the REST API:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/audit-logging-970612562.html

If you believe you need them for a longer period of time, you could set up a webhook and start pushing the log information out for storage outside of JIRA.

Best regards,

Bill

Thanks a lot Bill!

Yes, I want to know about the audit logs.

So, do you mean audit log prior to 180 days is never available?

Bill Sheboy

Hi @Sandhya Paranjpe According to that documentation link I provided from Atlassian, 180 days is the limit from the admin pages. They do not indicate if more history is available via other paths. I did find a suggestion to increase beyond 180 days:

Jira audit log retention period needs to be increased

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-68267

Perhaps someone from Atlassian or one of the in-the-know community leaders will post more information about this.

Ok, thanks!!

Thanks a lot Zoryana for your help!!

I think the tool "Issue History" gives history for issues.

What I am interested in the audit log and not the individual issue history as such.

But, yeah, thanks for your support!!
