I have done several google searches and even several searches in the Our Umbraco forum (http://our.umbraco.org/forum) and stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com) which have resulted in little to no information about the Audit Trail functionality in any version of Umbraco much less the newest version 7.
So hopefully someone can answer the following questions about Umbraco v7 Audit Trail Functionality:
What is the basic functionality offered in Umbraco's Audit Trail?
Where is the documentation describing this basic functionality?
Is there any default functionality around trimming or deleting these audit trails in Umbraco?
If so, can you turn the trimming/deleting feature off?
I have a client that wants to be able to query audit log data for all time of their website once they go live in production. My hope is that this is the default functionality of Umbraco but please help me understand how I might change this if this is not the case.
Thanks for your help!
The Audit Trail logs the changes to a document. It logs the node id, the date/time, the user and the action that was performed.
From my experience the Audit Trail is not trimmed or deleted.
The Audit details are stored in the umbracoLog table in the database. Looking at the data in the table can give you better insight than through the Umbraco Backoffice if more detail is required. The Backoffice will only show the activity on a given document so it is not possible to see history across the site. The data in the table also gives you access to delete actions. It is not possible to see when something was deleted in the back office. The table only stores the node id so it does have to be joined with the other tables to get document names.

I am a BI administrator and author on my OBIEE (12.2.1.3.0). I need to create an analytics on users' browsing history. And then share it to their manager who is just another normal user himself (not an administrator). So I searched on Google for a solution. but, I didn't find anything other than "Manage Sessions" section in administration. However, that just shows online sessions, but I need the report per user and their last login time and browsing information. Besides, I don't want to give the manager administration privilege to access this section. instead, I want to create an analytics for him. but for analytics I need a relevant "Subject Area". I don't know if there is a table in OBIEE repository where I can query from. or generally, I might be thinking incorrectly and there are other ways to handle this kind of requirement. Any idea?
Actually yes, it is possible. As you may know, OBIEE repository tables, which can be used to show to end users as subject area that this is usgae tracking utility, just track information around sent queries to BI server and not more about users specifically.
In this occasion, you can use a method which called enhanced usage tracking for OBIEE that is presented completely here:
https://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/2016/12/enhanced-usage-tracking-for-obiee-now-available-as-open-source/
This is exactly what you want. All detail information about users activities in OBIEE and enve some redundant ones. You can create a physical table, then add it to repository file and display as subject area to end user with any permission.
Of course, according to your software environment or implementation structure, you are supposed to make some changes in this manner.
I hope this goes well.
Experience with Jira is based on what I have seen from clicking through the project. There is no knowledge transfer as all people who knew this customized system left over a year ago.
As for the Atlassian PDF guide, it is not able to assist because the feature to add users and manage the users in Jira have been removed. An external LDAP system is where the users are managed.
I can view the User Browser and see users and do some editing of a profile and even delete the user from a navigation link in the footer.
But the real question at hand is, what do I need to do in order to
A. Assign users to an Organization Role that only allows them
1: A view only mode of the users in that Organization
2: View the details of the user and that users permissions/roles given
I've been looking for a few days now and just keep running into brick walls.
Thank you.
The upgrading of the system to the new version is not an option due to the extensive undocumented modifications made to Jira. It has been tried 3 times in the past 2 years without success.
I am answering based on JIRA 5.2 and higher experience.
Only place to see list of users is User Manager and you need to be JIRA admin to access it. So it's not a solution for you.
I searched for addon doing this but no luck. Moreover your JIRA is too old to be supported by addon providers.
The same story with JIRA REST API. Looks like for JIRA 4.1 you need to use JIRA REST 1.0 (current is 2.0) and I can not find docs for it.
I believe it's possible to write the addon to accomplish what you need but again it's not smart to invest in obsolete JIRA.
The most right solution is still migrate to the newest version of JIRA. Maybe you need abandon the undocumented changes or rewrite them into JIRA addons. It will not be easy and it can be costly but looks like you do not have too many options.
Task has been abandoned.
No answer to bad implementation and poor engineering practices when one is to continue to follow them.
I'd delete the post entirely but I'd rather give credit to the few that tried to provide some insight. Thanks again.
If I were to implement a system identical to the StackOverflow question revision history using Ruby on Rails, what would I need to do in order to achieve that? I am creating a site that acts like a wiki where user contributed content can be updated by other people. I need to be able to track the history of these changes, but I am not familiar with how to implement this.
Solution:
In a nutshell, the way this works is to create an extra table to keep track of the changes. Each row in the table has a "snapshot" of the data as it existed before the record was changed (or just the data that changed).
There are a number of Ruby Gems that have already done most of the work. Here is a list of gems that deal with versioning/revision history. It looks like Paper Trail is currently the most popular gem for doing this. Ryan Bates has recorded a RailsCast providing an overview of using Paper Trail.
When an entry is edited, you don't delete the (old) entry, you just add a new entry with a new version number. When you want to retrieve an entry for display, you pick the one with the highest version number. When you want to retrieve an entry to show its revision history, you pick all of them and sort them by version number.
I know this is old but anyone who runs into this you should checkout Paper Trail
Wondering if its possible (technically and licensing) to create a website for a Customer to view reports, report bugs, track progress of products we are creating for them (we are using VS2010 and TFS2010).
Cheers, Nick.
Hopefully one of the MSFT guys will weigh in here, but if I recall, providing access to "real-time" data via a web site is not allowed. Putting static data into a status report is allowed, I believe, as long as the person creating the data has a CAL.
There's an exception to the CAL requirement for creating work items and the subsequent view of those work items. This would allow non CAL-ed users to be able to submit things like bug reports.
From a technical standpoint-- yeah, it is not only possible, but relatively easy to do with the API.
I've been reading some feature request-style threads in Atlassian's own JIRA install on how to disable (not remove) users in JIRA, and their suggested solution involves a series of UI actions. For the number of users that our organization supports, this needs to be automated with the rest of our employee account provisioning logic.
I've been looking in the JIRA database and found the membershipbase table, but simply removing records from here WHERE USER_NAME="$username" doesn't seem to have a completely successful outcome. When I go to the User Browser in the Administration section and look up that user, groups still appear for the user.
Does anyone have any experience with this that could point me in the right direction on any other tables I need to modify?
Thanks in advance,

Maybe you should take a look at Atlassian's Crowd. Even if you don't use SSO, it may help you to integrate with your existing infrastructure for handling authentication and authorization (i.e. groups) centrally. It also provides an administrative frontend that is designed for the corresponding tasks.
You could have a look at the EditUserGroups.setGroupsToLeave() method. As far as I remember, users need to be in the jira-users group to log in. So, if you remove this group from the user, it may be effectively what you need (not delete but deactive user acount).
If this does not help, I'd look into the source code of JIRA (which is available for all types of licenses afaik) to see which tables are modified by the above method.
