      Problem Definition

      From time to time users notice that issues have been deleted, and would like to be able to see who deleted the issue, and when it was deleted.

      This could also be useful for pinpointing which backup could be used to perform a recovery of a deleted issue.

      Suggested Solution

      Provide an audit log for Issue Deletion.

      Further possible outcome: Allow for deleted issues to be restored.

      Workaround

      Currently it is possible to search for calls such as "/secure/DeleteIssue" in JIRA and/or Tomcat Access log to identify when and who deleted an issue, however for Cloud customers:

      • logs are only kept for 30 days
      • it needs to be done by the Atlassian Support Team
      • sometimes issue id's are used in the delete call, which cannot be linked to an issue key after the issue has been deleted
      • it's not possible to see who made the request
