Audit

Auditing

DHIS2 will audit updates and deletions of aggregate data values, tracked entity data values, tracked entity attribute values and data approval records. This section explains how to retrieve audit records for the mentioned entities. Note that several of the query parameters can be repeated any number of times.

Aggregate data value audits

The endpoint for aggregate data value audits is located at:

/api/audits/dataValue
Aggregate data value query parameters
Parameter Option Description
ds Data set ID One or more data set identifiers to get data elements from
de Data element ID One or more data element identifiers
pe ISO period One or more period ISO identifiers
ou Organisation unit ID One or more org unit identifiers
auditType UPDATE | DELETE Filter by one or more audit types
skipPaging false | true Turn paging on / off
paging false | true Enable or disable paging
page Number Page number (default 1)
pageSize Number Page size (default 50)

Example: Get audits for a data set lyLU2wR22tC and audit type CREATE or UPDATE:

/api/33/audits/dataValue?ds=lyLU2wR22tC&auditType=CREATE,UPDATE

Example: Get audits for data element BOSZApCrBni, org unit DiszpKrYNg8 and category option combination TkDhg29x18A:

/api/33/audits/dataValue?de=BOSZApCrBni&ou=DiszpKrYNg8&co=TkDhg29x18A

Tracked entity data value audits

The endpoint for tracked entity data value audits is located at:

/api/audits/trackedEntityDataValue
Tracked entity data value query parameters
Parameter Option Description
de Data element ID One or more data element identifiers
ou Organisation unit ID One or more organisation unit identifiers of the audited event
events Events ID One or more event identifiers of the audited event (comma separated)
ps Program stage ID One or more program sages of the audit event program
startDate Start date Return only audit records created after date
endDate End date Return only audit records created before date
ouMode Organisation unit selection mode SELECTED | DESCENDANTS
auditType UPDATE | DELETE Filter by one or more audit types
skipPaging false | true Turn paging on / off
paging false | true Whether to enable or disable paging
page Number Page number (default 1)
pageSize Number Page size (default 50)

Example: Get audits for data elements eMyVanycQSC and qrur9Dvnyt5:

/api/33/audits/trackedEntityDataValue?de=eMyVanycQSC&de=qrur9Dvnyt5

Example: Get audits for org unit O6uvpzGd5pu including descendant org units in the org unit hierarchy:

/api/audits/trackedEntityDataValue?ou=O6uvpzGd5pu&ouMode=DESCENDANTS

Tracked entity attribute value audits

The endpoint for tracked entity attribute value audits is located at:

/api/audits/trackedEntityAttributeValue
Tracked entity attribute value query parameters
Parameter Option Description
tea Tracked entity attribute ID One or more tracked entity attribute identifiers

page Number Page number (default 1)
pageSize Number Page size (default 50)

Example: Get audits for tracked entity attribute VqEFza8wbwA:

/api/33/audits/trackedEntityAttributeValue?tea=VqEFza8wbwA

Example: Get audits for tracked entity instance wNiQ2coVZ39 and audit type DELETE:

/api/33/audits/trackedEntityAttributeValue?trackedEntities=wNiQ2coVZ39&auditType=DELETE

Tracked entity instance audits

Once auditing is enabled for tracked entities (by setting allowAuditLog of tracked entity types to true), all read and search operations are logged. The endpoint for accessing audit logs is located at:

/api/audits/trackedEntity

page Number Page number (default 1)
pageSize Number Page size (default 50)

Example: Get audits of audit type READ with startDate 2018-03-01 and endDate 2018-04-24 with a page size of 5:

/api/33/audits/trackedEntity.json?startDate=2021-03-01&endDate=2022-04-24&auditType=READ&pageSize=5

Example: Get audits for tracked entity wNiQ2coVZ39:

/api/33/audits/trackedEntity.json?trackedEntities=wNiQ2coVZ39
