Hi All,

 

I need to create a report for deleted pages and assets. I have used acs-commons report builder tool to generate different kinds of reports in AEM, but I would need to generate report for deleted content also.

Any suggestions or help would really appreacited.

 

Thanks,

Aruna

I am not sure if this is the best way , but one thing you can do is to listen to a deletion action and write the details to a log. If log is enough for your requirement . It might be process heavy as when you trigger a deletion in bulk , it might slow down the system . I am also curious to know of something better . Hope the community has some better answers 🙂

Thanks Veena for the reply. I am not looking for log. actually I wanted to give author freindly report feature for deletion of content pages or assets.

Since you are looking for some author friendly report, how about saving the resource details to a node every time a deletion happens ? Later you can fetch the values from this node when you need it

Thank you very much Veena for the reply. I am thinking instead of creting from the scratch better to utilize the auditlog search report

If you have enabled AEM to save audit data, you can query the nodes under "/var/audit/com.day.cq.wcm.core.page/content"

 

Nodetypes : cq:AuditEvent

Property: cq:type=PageDeleted

@17288292 I guess https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/audit-log-search/index.html this might help you in your requirement. It will give you a list of the deleted pages from audit log as below
