It doesn’t seem like there is. Also I tried searching but couldn’t find anything about this, sorry. But yes, I note there are events for deletion and the like but nothing for closing topics. Is that because this is a leader action and we don’t log those? Would be good to note the Leader actions somewhere if not. Thanks

I would not be searching for topic close events… instead for all posts that are close actions in data explorer should do the trick. Try this query: SELECT topic_id, user_id, action_code, created_at FROM posts WHERE post_type = 3 AND action_code like '%closed%' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 100

Apologies, yes I mean close the topic. Because of the padlock symbol being what I saw in my mind’s eye I could only think of lock as it’s the one on other forums.

Ah okay, thanks a lot. We don’t have that plugin installed. I’ll see if the owner wants it but probably it won’t happen. It’s not wildly important I just wondered if I was missing something that could tell us this. Thanks for the help

Is there any way to get a list of topic close events from the logs?

What do you mean “lock”? Do you mean close the topic? Or are you referring to the per-post action?
