Is there a easy way to track when and who deleted a fixlet or task in bigfix?
@Ftoole and I are coworkers and we have evaluated the following link. Just wondering if we can change a setting somewhere to track these.

There is an open idea for integration with Git, the one I have been pushing for is the Git-based sites where you create a Git Repo which you then configure as a “Custom External” site, so any change committed to Git is automatically propagated into the console and vise-versa (if a change is made in the console is propagated back to GIT) but it would add versioning which has been lacking in the product. Feel free to “vote” and comment with your specific use-cases, hopefully it gets committed to sooner rather than later.
We did find that by running this query we could get the username that deleted it.
SELECT O.Name, U.username
from dbo.LOCAL_OBJECT_DEFS O INNER JOIN
dbo.USERINFO as U on U.MastheadUsername = O.Username
where
O.ParentID = 1 and O.Name = ‘TaskName’
If you need deletion time, just add O.CreationTime as 'Time Deleted'
to your select…
