Ticketing & Bug Tracking

Jira integration simplifies issue management within clusters and helps you ensure every issue gets properly addressed. With just a few clicks, tickets can be opened and assigned to the proper teams, with the details needed to streamline resolutions and configuration changes.

🛠️ How to create Jira Profile

There are two options for creating a Profile: from the Settings tab or directly from the Overview.

From the Settings tab

Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select Integrations -> click the +Add Integration button and select Jira from the drop-down -> insert the required data.

From the Overview tab

Go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> find Integrations and click the Ticketing & Bug Tracking drop-down list -> click the Add New Profile button -> insert the required data.

Jira Profile Configuration

1. Name your profile

2. Configure the profile according to the following instructions:

jira_user: Email address of the user creating the profile. We recommend creating a separate JIRA user for PerfectScale.

jira_secret: API token to authenticate with an Atlassian cloud product.

• Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens and click Create API token button.

  
• Insert the label and click Create button.

  
• Copy the created API token and put it in the jira_secret field. 💡 NOTE: To generate the API token, you need to use the Jira account that is associated with the Integration Profile(account specified in jira_user).

jira_url: Corporate Jira URL. Example: https://xxx.atlassian.net, where xxx - a corporate domain.

jira_project: Jira project where tickets will be created.

jira_issue_type: The type of a Jira ticket.

jira_sumary : The summary of a Jira ticket.

jira_assignee : The default assignee (member ID) of a Jira ticket.

jira_resolution(optional): Set true to assign the resolution reason when closing a ticket in the specified jira_project.

jira_custom_fields(optional): Specify the ID of the required Jira ticket field that is not included in the default setup. Use the following format for the custom field ID:

jira_custom_fields:
  customfield_XXXXX: 'DevOps Team'

1. Use Set as default checkbox to automatically assign the profile to the clusters. 💡 NOTE: The manually assigned profile takes priority over the default one.

2. To verify the accuracy of your Jira configuration, simply click on the Test Integration button. When the configuration is correct, you will see the message Jira Configured Correctly . In case of Jira Configured Wrongly response, check and ensure the correctness of the data.

3. Click the Save button to save the progress.

How to get Jira custom field ID

A simple method to obtain a Jira custom field ID without requiring extra permissions is to inspect the relevant Jira issue that includes this field. Follow the next simple steps:

1. Open an issue (Jira ticket) with the custom field for which you want to find the ID.

2. Right-click on the field name and select Inspect.

3. On the Developer Tools panel, you will find the name and ID for your custom field.

jira_custom_fields:
  customfield_00000: 'DevOps Team'
  customfield_00001: 'Resource anomaly fix'
  customfield_00002: 'Under-provisioning'

🛠️ How to apply Jira Profile

Apply to a single cluster

To apply the Profile to the cluster, go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> find Integrations and click the Ticketing & Bug Tracking drop-down list -> select the needed profile.

Apply to multiple clusters

To apply a profile to multiple clusters from a single view, use the Manage Assignments feature. Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select Integrations -> click the Manage Assignments button -> apply the profile for the needed clusters in the Ticketing & Bug Tracking section -> click the Save Changes button.
