How can we get the creation date of a dashboard in Jira?

[Samiappan Jayachandran]

I want to know the dashboard creation date, but I haven't found an option to view it. Is there a way to figure it out if so please help me. Thank you!

Hi Samiappan!

I'm Felipe from ServiceRocket support team.

Regarding our question, I'm afraid Jira does not provide a direct way to check the creation date of a dashboard from the UI. However, there are a few workarounds you can try:

1. Check the Dashboard Owner’s Activity

• If you are not the owner, ask the dashboard owner if they remember when it was created.
• You can also check the Activity Stream Gadget on a dashboard to see if there is any old activity related to it. But I don't think this option will be a quick solution.

2. Look for Old Comments or Edits

• If the dashboard has filters, check the associated filters in Jira Admin > Filters > View all filters.
• If the filter was created specifically for the dashboard, it might give you an estimate of when the dashboard was made.

3. Jira API (For Jira Cloud)

You can try using the Jira REST API to retrieve dashboard details:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
"https://your-instance.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/dashboard"

• Unfortunately, Jira Cloud API does not expose the creation date in the response. However, exporting the dashboards and analyzing logs might give you insights, for example, of the dashboard owner

If none of these methods work, you may need to contact Jira Support to see if they can retrieve the dashboard creation date.

Best Regards,
Felipe

Hi @Samiappan Jayachandran 

The dashboard creation date should be available in the Jira Audit Log. Read more here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/audit-log-events-in-jira-998879036.html#:~:text=ADDITIONAL%20EVENTS%20AVAILABLE-,Category%3A%20Dashboards,-Coverage%20level
