Record Last Index information (date/time) in Jira Audit log

Problem Definition

The Indexes page only tells the Jira Administrator if there is a background/foreground re-indexing running at the time. No other details such as when or who trigger the previous re-indexing is stored anywhere.

Suggested Solution

Include the details of every re-indexing change in the Audit log, including it start and completion

• Date of the re-indexing triggered
• Author/User that triggers the re-indexing
• Category: Re-indexing start/completed
• Type: Project/Background/Foreground re-indexing
• Node: (For Data Center) indicate which node triggers the re-indexing

Why this is important

• With bug such as JRASERVER-47045, having information of when a re-indexing is start/complete is useful to easily understand the status of the instance/node.
• Helps understand if a node is running a re-indexing at the time

Workaround

• Proceed to JIRA HOME > Cache > Indexes
• Check when last this folder was modified.
