Summary

As a Bitbucket Server administrator you may have need to locate all projects or repositories currently using a particular plugin/hook on your Bitbucket Server instance.

This will work only when a Hook has been configured explicitly for a Repository. Since inherited hooks are applied for all repositories inside a project, they will not show up in the result.

Solution

The easiest way to get this data is from the REST API. Please see the rest endpoint /rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/webhooks for more details. You can use name: to search for jenkins in the examples below.

Web hooks after Bitbucket 5.4

To find all hooks for a url for a repository. Replace '<SLUG>' with the SLUG name:

SELECT repo.name, webhooks."URL" FROM "AO_A0B856_WEBHOOK" as webhooks join REPOSITORY as repo ON cast(webhooks."SCOPE_ID" AS INT) = repo.id WHERE repo.name = '<SLUG>';

To find hooks for all the repositories along with the project details:

SELECT prj.name AS "Project Name", prj.project_key AS "Project Key", repo.name AS "Repo Name", repo.slug AS "Repository Slug", webhooks."URL" FROM "AO_A0B856_WEBHOOK" as webhooks join REPOSITORY as repo ON cast(webhooks."SCOPE_ID" AS INT) = repo.id join PROJECT as prj ON repo.project_id = prj.id;

Repository hooks

For example, for the Jenkins Webhook Plugin, you can run the following SQL query to get the names of all repositories that have the webhook enabled.

SELECT NAME FROM repository JOIN sta_repo_hook ON repository.id = sta_repo_hook.repository_id WHERE sta_repo_hook.hook_key LIKE '%jenkins%'

You can run the following SQL query to get the names of all projects that have the webhook enabled.

SELECT NAME FROM project JOIN sta_repo_hook ON project.id = sta_repo_hook.project_id WHERE sta_repo_hook.hook_key LIKE '%jenkins%'

The above queries were tested against a PostgreSQL database and may need to be altered to match the syntax of your specific database version/vendor.
