Jira Audit Log Alert / Automation

Question

Is there a possibility within Jira to trigger events based on the Jira Admin Audit Log?

I want to automatically monitor the audit log and send an e-mail for certain actions (like creating an administrator or adding someone to admin group).

At this moment I only could frequently scan the audit log via API externally and trigger from there, but would prefer from within and based on audit log events.

Hi @Hartmut Leister

I wonder if you could set up a webhook for audit log (and other) events, and then use an automation rule triggered on that to manage the results.

Kind regards,
Bill

I don't think there is a ready-made feature for this.

If you don't like polling the public REST API (I guess this is what you mean by "API externally"), I can imagine that you could write your logic in Groovy, where the script can access the audit log internals within the JVM, then execute the Groovy script with ScriptRunner as a periodic job.
