Automation Audit Log REST API

[Jerel Crosland]

We have Jira Data Center with JSM, and I am a project admin, not a site admin.

We need a way to get the Automation Audit Log out to put into a dashboard, using a tool like Power BI. I assumed this would be via the REST API, but I can't find any documentation related to THIS audit log, not the main Jira audit log. Can anyone recommend a way to get that data out of Jira, other than RPA screen-scraping?

Hi @Jerel Crosland 

I found undocumented API endpoints to get usage data out of Cloud. Have never looked for Audit Logs... Let's see...

Ah, here we go:

After I went to https://YOURSITE/secure/AutomationGlobalAdminAction!default.jspa#/audit-log

And sniffed around in Chrome's Developer Panel. Found this:

https://YOURSITE/rest/cb-automation/latest/audit/GLOBAL?limit=50&offset=0

I'm not sure what the upper limit is, but I've gotta head to breakfast soon. Give it a try and let us know!

Thank you, I will take a look. That second URL looks like the main Jira audit log info, but I'll look into it.

I was told by someone else that, because Automation for Jira used to be a separate add-on, all they did was bundle it in, but it's still, under the covers, an add-on, and they haven't made it part of the usual REST API. I'm hoping that's not true.
