Summary
For auditing purposes it may be required to determine when a sprint was created after the fact. This article will demonstrate how the access_logs can be used to identify when a sprint was created based on the REST call Jira will make.
Environment
Jira 8 and higher
.
Solution
Jira does not store the create date and time of sprints within the Jira database. In order to identify when a sprint was created, the access_logs for the Jira environment can be searched for a call to the following endpoint:
GET /rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/X/create
Where X in the call above is board ID for project where the sprint was created.
To find the board ID, simply load the board within the Jira User Interface and look for the number after the rapidView parameter in the URL. For example, the URL below would be for board 9:
localhost:8080/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=9If a sprint were created for board #9, the following could be seen in the access_logs:
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 955x90x1 username [14/Apr/2023:15:55:01 -0400] "GET /rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/9/create/model?suggestDates=false&_=1681502077589 HTTP/1.1" 200 102 135 "http://localhost:8080/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=9&view=planning.nodetail&epics=visible&issueLimit=100" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" "v0p6e1"
