How to view previous AddOn version after updating?

[Abhinav Arae]

Hello All,

 Is there a way to find out the previous AddOn version after updating in Jira Server. I am trying to degrade an AddOn version to the previous one which we have upgraded from due to an issue with the AddOn. Please suggest.

 Thank you.

Yes there is another way to do this.

You can just look into the logs. You will find the entry in the "atlassian-jira.log" files.
There are a number of ways to view these logs:
1) On the server itsef

2) create a Support package by going to System -> Troubleshooting and Support Tools -> Create Support Zip

3) install LastLog-AddOn

You will see an entry like:
2022-07-04 09:58:15,084+0200 pool-1216-thread-1 INFO USERNAME 596x2920503x4 qn7me4 IP ADDRESSES /rest/plugins/self-update/1.0/ [c.a.plugin.manager.DefaultPluginManager] Updating plugin 'com.atlassian.upm.atlassian-universal-plugin-manager-plugin' from version '5.1.2' to version '5.1.5'

Hi, LastLog-AddOn only shows 10 days back. Is there another solution?

LastLog looks you server log files so you would need to check the older files like <logfile>.log1, <logfile>.log2 etc

Or there is also the manage addon logs which can be found in the following path:
/plugins/servlet/upm/log?source=manage

Hi Abhinav,

please have a look at the Audit Log available from the "Manage add-ons" section in your Jira instance, not the Audit Log in the general configuration. Depending on your last update of the app you could find a log entry like "Installed add-on XYZ (com.xxx.jira.plugins.xxxxx version 2.5.2) admin May 23 2019 1:46:50 PM" in the log. By default the audit log will be purged after 90 days. But if you've updated the app in the last 90 days you will be able to find to which version updated prior to your latest update. 

Best, Max

Hello Max,

 Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately, the update was more than 90 days ago. Is there any other way like searching in the database tables (like Pluginversion which has ONLY current versions)?

Thank you.
