Atlassian JIRA

Atlassian JIRA

Overview

The integration of Motadata AIOps with Atlassian JIRA bridges the gap between network operations and incident management workflows. This integration enhances operational efficiency by automating the creation of JIRA issues directly from Motadata AIOps alerts.

The integration establishes a synchronization of updates between Motadata AIOps and Atlassian JIRA. This ensures data consistency across both platforms, affording a unified and current perspective on incident resolution progress.This streamlines incident management, improves team collaboration, and ultimately contributes to faster mean time to resolution (MTTR).

Prerequisites

Before you can proceed with creating an Integration Profile, you will need to ensure you have configured Motadata AIOps to Atlassian JIRA Integration.

JIRA Workflow Mapping

The integration does not override JIRA's workflow rules. It must respect the workflow design configured in JIRA. Hence, JIRA issues can only change states as defined by the workflow rules of your project.

For instance, if an issue is in the 'In Progress' state, it cannot be directly closed unless the workflow explicitly allows a state change from 'In Progress' to 'Closed'.

info

If the integration attempts to perform an invalid state change (e.g., closing a ticket from an incompatible state), the action will fail.

Similarly, reopening a ticket may require specific state change (e.g., from 'Closed' to 'Reopened') that must be defined in the workflow.

Status and Transition Matching

The current integration relies on exact naming matches between the statuses and transitions in JIRA.

If the integration is set to auto-close a ticket, the transition name (e.g., 'Close') must exactly match the status available in the JIRA workflow for that ticket's current state. Along with that, your project workflow should also allow the direct status change as mentioned in the previous section.

info

If the names do not match, (for instance, transition is 'Close' and status is 'Resolve'), the auto-close functionality will fail.

To understand statuses and transitions better, refer to the image below:

As you can view in the image, the transitions on the left side match exactly with the statuses on the right side. Ensure your project workflow follows the same methodology to ensure auto-close and reopen ticket feature functions as expected.

Navigation

Go to Menu. Select Settings . After that, Go to Integration and select Atlassian JIRA. The Atlassian JIRA integration screen is displayed.

Integration Profile Parameters

You will need to configure integration profile parameters on Motadata AIOps in order to properly create Incidents/Tasks/Bugs on JIRA. Enter the following details on the Create Integration Profile page:

Field	Description
Profile Name	Provide a profile name for the integration profile.
Integration Type	Select Atlassian JIRA from the dropdown menu.
Description	Enter a description for the integration profile, if required.
Project	Select the project using the dropdown for which you want to create the integration profile.
Issue Type	Select an issue type to create using the dropdown. (Every issue type has different configuration parameters).
Group	Select the corresponding Atlassian Jira field to map with the AIOPs group.
Tag	Select the corresponding Atlassian Jira field to map with the AIOPs tag.
Component(s)	Select a component of the JIRA project using the dropdown menu.
Reporter	Choose a reporter using the dropdown menu.
Assignee	Choose an assignee using the dropdown menu.
Priority	Select a priority for the issue/task/incident using the dropdown.
Labels	Enter a label name you wish to assign.
Auto Close Ticket	Toggle this button to automatically close the ticket in JIRA when the corresponding alert moves to a clear severity state in AIOps.
Issue Status	This option is only available when Auto Close Ticket is enabled. You can choose the status you want to display for auto-closed tickets using the dropdown.
Re-open closed ticket	This option is only available when Reopen closed ticket is enabled for the integration. Use the dropdown to select the status of the issue if and when it is reopened.

caution

Make sure you only populate the field(s) in the Integration profile that are present in your JIRA project. For instance, if your JIRA project does not have a 'Label' field and you populate the 'Label' field in the integration profile, the issue/task/incident creation will fail.

info

Ensure you have deployed required workflows in order to auto close tickets on Atlassian JIRA. You can read more on required JIRA workflows in the Prerequisites section of this guide.

Select the Reset button to erase all the current field values and start afresh.

Select the Create Integration Profile button to create the profile.
