How Can I find all the broken filters and their owners?

[Etai Leers]

I got more then 800 filters in my cloud instance.

I want to get a list of all the broken filters and also the filter name, id and owner.

I tried using python with rest API:
https://XXXX.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/filter/{filter_id}

but I only got my filters even though I'm a site admin.

How can I get the required list?

Hi, @Etai Leers 

You can try to use another method:

/rest/api/3/filter/search

It has experimental feature overrideSharePermissions, to show all filters.

You can read about it here:

Hi, @Etai Leers 

Look at parameter overrideSharePermissions

If you set it true in query, I suggest that it will give you all filters.

Thanks @Evgenii  that's great !
I got all the filters in my cloud instance.

One more question - is there a way to know which filter is broken ?
broken means syntax error and hence no results retrieved.

It's an interesting question...

Maybe variant, with pulling each filter, and watching at result, will help.

I found one tricky way, it's weird solution but it can help. 

You'll have to pull all filters, and then, make requests to get info on them:

https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/filter/{id}

In response, take string "searchUrl": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search?jql=type%20%3D%20Bug%20and%20resolutino%20is%20empty",

And then try GET request with this URL. If it returns error - bingo, you found bad filter.

Thanks @Evgenii  but I get only the filters that match the following conditions: 

• filters owned by the user.
• filters shared with a group that the user is a member of.
• filters shared with a private project that the user has Browse projects project permission for.
• filters shared with a public project.
• filters shared with the public.

As a site admin I need to get all the filters in our Jira software, so I will be able to help fixing the broken ones.
