Jira

The Jira destination writes data to a Jira instance. For information about supported versions, see Supported Systems and Versions in the Data Collector documentation.

The Jira destination requires that Data Collector use Java version 17. For more information, see Java Versions and Available Features.

When you configure the Jira destination, you configure the Jira instance to send the request to and the authentication scheme to use for the request. You can optionally use a proxy server and configure TLS properties.

You can configure the destination to create a new Jira issue, delete an existing Jira issue, or update the properties of an existing Jira issue, including summary, description, priority, and issue type.

Note: This destination is a Technology Preview feature. It is not meant for use in production.

Event Generation

The Jira destination can generate events that you can use in an event stream. When you enable event generation, the destination generates event records each time the destination completes processing all available data.

You can use events generated by the Jira destination in any logical way. For example:

With the Email executor to send a custom email after receiving an event.
For an example, see Sending Email During Pipeline Processing.
With a destination to store event information.
For an example, see Preserving an Audit Trail of Events.

For more information about dataflow triggers and the event framework, see Dataflow Triggers Overview.

Event Records

Event records generated by the Jira destination include the following event-related record header attributes. Record header attributes are stored as String values:


Record Header Attribute	Description
sdc.event.type	Event type. Uses one of the following types: finished - Generated when the destination finishes writing data. start - Generated when the destination starts writing data.
sdc.event.version	Integer that indicates the version of the event record type.
sdc.event.creation_timestamp	Epoch timestamp when the stage created the event.

The destination can generate the following types of event records:

finished

The destination generates a finished event record when the destination finishes writing data to the instance.

The finished event record generated by the destination has the sdc.event.type record header attribute set to finished and includes the following fields:


Field	Description
webclient.pagination.calls.count	Not applicable.
webclient.offset	Not applicable.
webclient.last.page	Not applicable.
webclient.time	The time the write finished.

start

The destination generates a start event record when the destination starts writing data to the instance.

The start event record generated by the destination has the sdc.event.type record header attribute set to start and includes the following fields:


Field	Description
webclient.endpoint	The instance the data is read from.
webclient.offset	Not applicable.
webclient.method	The HTTP method used.
webclient.body	The body of the request.
webclient.time	The time the request was made.

OAuth 2 Authentication

The Jira destination can use the OAuth 2 protocol to connect to a Jira instance that uses basic or digest authentication, OAuth 2 client credentials, OAuth 2 username and password, or OAuth 2 access token.

The OAuth 2 protocol authorizes third-party access to HTTP service resources without sharing credentials. The Jira destination uses credentials to request an access token from the service. The service returns the token to the destination, and then the destination includes the token in a header in each request to the request endpoint.

The credentials that you enter to request an access token depend on the credentials grant type required by the Jira instance You can define the following OAuth 2 credentials grant types for Jira stages:

Client credentials grant

The stage sends its own credentials - the client ID and client secret or the basic authentication credentials - to the Jira instance.

For more information about the client credentials grant, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.4.

Access token grant

The stage sends an access token to an authorization service and obtains an access token for the Jira instance

Owner credentials grant

The stage sends the credentials for the resource owner - the resource owner user name, password, client ID, and client secret - to the Jira instance.

For more information about the resource owner password credentials grant, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.3.

Configuring a Jira Destination

Configure a Jira destination to write data to a Jira instance.

This destination is a Technology Preview feature. It is not meant for use in production.

In the Properties panel, on the General tab, configure the following properties:


General Property	Description
Name	Stage name.
Description	Optional description.
Produce Events	Generates event records when events occur. Use for event handling.
Required Fields	Fields that must include data for the record to be passed into the stage. Tip: You might include fields that the stage uses. Records that do not include all required fields are processed based on the error handling configured for the pipeline.
Preconditions	Conditions that must evaluate to TRUE to allow a record to enter the stage for processing. Click Add to create additional preconditions. Records that do not meet all preconditions are processed based on the error handling configured for the stage.
On Record Error	Error record handling for the stage: Discard - Discards the record. Send to Error - Sends the record to the pipeline for error handling. Stop Pipeline - Stops the pipeline.

On the Connection tab, configure the following properties:
