How to figure out who all have created/ editted/ deleted the KB articles on a workspace

[Saritha MV]

Hello Team,

is there any way to figure out who all have created/ editted/ deleted the KB articles from a particular date onwards?

for example, say from 3rd Oct, what are the new articles on the Support KB( my related workspace)?

thanks,

Hello, Saritha.

The default audit log does not contain information specific to pages as mentioned in the Audit log.

The audit log doesn't record information directly relating to pages such as page edits (you can see these in the page history) location, or changes to page restrictions.

I tried to look for third-party add-ons but the ones I came across focus only on spaces rather than specific pages. An option that you can consider is to enable access logging on Confluence as mentioned in the How to Enable User Access Logging, specifically to capture all access through the snippet:

<filter-mapping>
   <filter-name>AccessLogFilter</filter-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

From there, you will have to filter for the actions performed on Confluence. It is very verbose, mind you. So, you will have to filter it to only display the information you need. 

One of the best way to understand the logging is to try it tail -f the $confluence_home/log/atlassian-confluence.log after it is enabled so you can get a full picture of action (create / edit / delete).
