Jira Accounts

Prerequisites

1. Ensure that the account has access to all Jira projects you want Cloudaware to use. Cloudaware can only access and import data from projects available to that Jira user.

2. Optional: If you use API tokens with scopes in Jira, ensure that the following Jira OAuth scopes are granted to Cloudaware:
   

   • read:jql:jira – View JQL

   • read:jira-work – Read Jira project and issue data, search for issues, and access related objects such as attachments and worklogs

   • read:issue:jira – View issues

   • read:issue-meta:jira – View issue metadata

   • read:project:jira – View projects

   • read:servicedesk-request – Read customer request data, including approvals, attachments, comments, request participants, and status transitions. Also read service desks and request types, including their fields, properties, and groups

   • read:request.feedback:jira-service-management – View request feedback

   • read:user:jira – View user information

   • write:jira-work – Create and edit issues, post comments as the user, create worklogs, and delete issues

   • write:request.feedback:jira-service-management – Create and update request feedback

   • write:servicedesk-request – Create and edit customer requests, including comments, attachments, approvals, request sharing, subscriptions, and transitions
     

Add a Jira account

For Cloudaware to discover and collect Jira issues in the CMDB, add a Jira account:

1. Log in to Cloudaware → Admin.
   

   

   
   

2. Find Jira Accounts & Actions in integrations. Click +ADD.
   

   

   
   

3. Fill out the form:

   Name – a name for the Jira integration, e.g., Prod Jira
   URL – the Jira instance URL in the format https://jira.companyname.com
   Login – the Jira username
   Password – the Jira password (for cloud Jira, use an API token)
   Retrieve issues for the last – select the desired time range from the drop-down list
   Trust Certificate – check this box only if Jira is in a private network and a TunHub gateway has been set up by Cloudaware. In this case, the Jira URL is in the format https://gw.tunhub.cloudaware.com:12345.
   
   Click SAVE.
   

4. A green light in the ‘Status’ column indicates successful configuration. If the light is red, contact support@cloudaware.com.
