Stash audit logs

Question

Hi!

We need to have audit logs for source code, tickets and our documents. And are considering to use the JIRA suite to help (current system doesn't cut it).

I have some questions I hope you will answer

* Are read accesses logged in Stash? * If the user browses the code through the UI (it's my understanding this can be done directly in Stash and also via JIRA)?
* Git pulls are logged as per the documentation as far as I can see.

Regards,

Thomas

Thomas,

For Stash, the audit logs (under STASH_HOME/logs/audit) track selected events only. Have a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Audit+events+in+Stashfor a list of events that can be tracked. Note that by default not even all these events are included in the audit log; only the 'high' priority events are logged, but you can configure that in the stash-config.properties. Have a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Stash+config+properties#Stashconfigproperties-Auditfor more information on how to do that.

While the access logs don't track repository read access, you could still use the access logs for that. They record every request that's made over HTTP and SSH, complete with the authenticated user. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASHKB/Stash+Log+Formatsfor a description of the access log format.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Michael

Hi,

To clearify: We need this because we want a Common Criteria Certificate -perhaps not so widely known, but it's important for security related products. From CC it's mandated (on our level anyway) that all accesses are logged.

Thanks,
