Looking for groovy code examples for searching the audit logs

[Tom Hudgins]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script to monitor the audit logs for instances where a user has been created. I can make a REST call to get audit data (rest/auditing/1.0/events?actions=User%20created) but I'd rather use the Java/Groovy API through a Scriptrunner script. 

I can't seem to find many working examples of how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you want to get logs of the same application instance, it would be much better to utilize direct Java classes, eg. start with AuditingManager from com.atlassian.jira.auditing package.

Yep, just looking for some code samples to help use that package. 

Thanks

However, if you want to use Groovy, then your code could be something like this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.Method

def api_endpoint = "/rest/api/2/mypermissions"
def baseurl = ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString("jira.baseurl")
def authString = "login:password".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
def remote = new HTTPBuilder(baseurl + api_endpoint)
def query = remote.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) {
    headers."Authorization" = "Basic ${authString}"
    // Add body = […] if you are planning POST/PUT operations
    response.success = { resp, json -> log.warn("Successful = " + json) }
    response.failure = { resp, json -> log.warn("Failed = " + json.messages) }
}

Note that here you should expose login and password in plain text, which is insecure, thus using direct Java classes and currently logged in user is preferred.
