How to make AuditEvent.entity.what reference to a delete resource

[christophe spielmann]

Hello,

I am creating audit event for all actions performed by a FHIR client with a

AuditEventInterceptor extends ThreadLocalCapturingInterceptor

My intend is to create an AuditEvent in case of deletion by using the response from the FHIR server. 

But when I save the AuditEvent that I created, it fails as AuditEvent.entity.what references a deleted resource. It there a way to overcome this ? 

Thanks.

The AuditEvent looks like below:

{

  "resourceType": "AuditEvent",

  "type": {

    "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/audit-event-type",

    "code": "rest",

    "display": "Restful Operation"

  },

  "subtype": [

    {

      "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/restful-interaction",

      "code": "delete"

    }

  ],

  "action": "D",

  "recorded": "2021-05-03T11:04:24.120+02:00",

  "outcome": "0",

  "agent": [

    {

      "type": {

        "coding": [

          {

            "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/extra-security-role-type",

            "code": "humanuser",

            "display": "human user"

          }

        ]

      },

      "who": {

        "reference": "http://localhost:8080/hapi-fhir-jpaserver/fhir/Practitioner/106124"

      },

      "altId": "2234567813",

      "name": "CHRISTOPHE SPIELMANN",

      "requestor": true

    }

  ],

  "source": {

    "site": "ceprescription",

    "type": [

      {

        "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/security-source-type",

        "code": "3",

        "display": "Web Server"

      }

    ]

  },

  "entity": [

    {

      "what": {

        "reference": "Patient/106146/_history/2"

      },

      "type": {

        "system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/audit-entity-type",

        "code": "Patient",

        "display": "Patient"

      },

      "description": "deletion of resource Patient/106146/_history/2",

      "detail": [

        {

          "type": "RequestedURL",

          "valueString": "http://localhost:8880/hapi-fhir-jpaserver/fhir/Patient/106146"

        }

      ]

    }

  ]

}

I don't think this is possible right now, we don't allow references to point to deleted resources.

I can totally understand your use case though- It would probably make sense for us to add configuration where you can nominate specific paths to allow such references. Please feel free to submit a feature request ticket and/or PR.

Cheers,

James
