Config Dependency Analysis

About this Page

This page talks about Config Dependency Analysis feature, a historical audit log that specifically tracks all deleted Jira issues (work items), Assets, Xray, or Tempo configurations. It provides a centralized view of what was deleted, when, and by whom, with a quick restore option for easy recovery.

What is the use case?

Use this to quickly find and restore individual issues that were accidentally deleted, without needing to search through entire backup snapshots. It is also a critical audit tool for security and compliance.
