Hello! to everybody



how to find a deleted item within the dspace logs or how to identify the person who deleted that item

There are logs, queries or where you can see which files are tagged as deleted:?

Thank you very much!

Saul,

This generally takes some minor detective work within the main dspace.log files. If you know the item ID, that makes it easier.

In Linux, I would do something along the lines of:

grep "delete_item:item_id=12345" dspace.log.2020.06.26

Only substitute the item ID and only search the log (or span of logs) that cover the timeframe when you believe the record was deleted. This approach just tells you if the event occurred, when, and where. So once you know the log file, start parsing it and look for the user session - which makes it pretty clear - immediately surrounding that event. The handle is also expressed in some of those lines, so that's another way to search for the deletion, but you want to at least search for "delete_item" to make your life a lot easier.


-Jeff

Hi all,
thanks for your help...
I have managed to find deleted items through the dspace logs, but how to interpret the following character string of the deleted item?

Example:

delete_item:item_id=28671506-697c-4785-9a62-603a73b1980f

thank You very much!
