EventLog is a logging plugin for Mantis Bug Tracker. This allows MantisBT components to log data that is then viewed via the EventLog plugin.

Installation Instructions

• Place the EventLog folder under the MantisBT plugin folder.

• Go to Manage - Manage Plugins and install the plugin.

• Setup logging level in config_inc.php (see config_defaults_inc.php for documentation). For example:

$g_log_level = LOG_EMAIL | LOG_EMAIL_RECIPIENT

• Do some MantisBT activity (e.g. add notes, report bugs, etc).

• Go to the event log view by clicking: Manage - Event log

REST API

The plugin exposes its event log over the MantisBT REST API so that clients can read and clear it directly:

• GET /api/rest/plugins/EventLog?page=1&per_page=10 — returns a paginated list of requests, each with its user reference and associated events. Timestamps are returned in ISO-8601 format. Only sanitized event_html is returned per event (display links and @U/@P user/project references already resolved); the raw event text is not exposed. per_page is clamped to 1..100. Requires view_threshold.
• DELETE /api/rest/plugins/EventLog — clears the entire event log (all requests and events). Returns 204 No Content. Requires manage_threshold.

Demo

You can see a demo of it on MantisHub where it is used to help administrators understand email notifications, answering questions like why did user X receive or didn't receive an email notification for issue Y.
