Problem
For certain reasons (such as auditing), information regarding the last time Bitbucket was upgraded is needed.
Solution 1
To find out the latest upgrade made in the application, follow steps below:
- Go into the $BITBUCKET_HOME/log directory.
- Locate the atlassian-bitbucket-YYYY-MM-DD.logs.
Search for the string "Upgrading Bitbucket from” in the log files.
Here's a sample entry:2024-03-10 09:00:01,850 INFO [spring-startup] c.a.s.internal.home.HomeValidator Upgrading Bitbucket from 8.7.1 to 8.9.10
Note that Bitbucket keeps the atlassian-bitbucket-YYYY-MM-DD.log for 31 days only by default.
Solution 2
Run the following script against the database.
SELECT * FROM databasechangelog ORDER BY orderexecuted DESCMake note of the date in the dateexecuted column of the most recent entry.
Not all upgrades contain database schema updates. This is normal and if your most recent upgrade was only a patch or between certain minor versions, this may not show the most recent upgrade.
