The auditing component of Bitbucket Data Center will log many different events that occur when being used. Events have been assigned a coverage level to reflect the number and frequency of events that are logged – these levels can be used to control how much information is added to the audit log file. For example, if you have an instance under high load and no need for auditing in certain coverage areas, you may wish to turn audit logging off by selecting Off in the Audit log settings page. Learn more about these settings in View and configure the audit log.

Coverage levels available with a Data Center license:

  • Off: Turns off logging events from this coverage area.
  • Base: Logs low-frequency and some of the high-frequency core events from selected coverage areas.
  • Advanced: Logs the core events as well as the low and medium frequency events from the coverage areas.
  • Full: Logs all the events available in Base and Advanced, plus additional events for a comprehensive audit.

The events generated by external apps that call Jira REST API that fall into the Apps coverage area are not listed here because they are app-dependent.

The following tables provide lists of new and legacy event summaries for all coverage levels and categories.

Apps category

This category is for auditing events generated by third-party apps.

Bitbucket Data Center customers can set the configuration property  audit.legacy.events.logging.forced=true to move the following events from Full to Base level:

  • Plugin container unavailable, Plugin module disabled, Plugin module enabled, Plugin module available, Plugin framework started
  • User log in failed, User logged in, User logged in (SSH)
  • Repository read event, Repository write event, Repository pull event, Repository push event, Git hook activity, Repository cloned

Note that adding these events to Base can significantly increase the size of the audit log.
