Jira Integration Guide
Jira is a proprietary issue tracking product developed by Atlassian that allows bug tracking and agile project management.
With the Jira integration, you will be able to create a new incident on Xurrent IMR whenever a ticket or issue is raised in the associated Jira board. Any action, i.e. Pending or Resolve on Jira will update the incident on Xurrent IMR to the Acknowledged or Resolved state.
What can Xurrent IMR do for Jira users?
With Jira's Integration, Xurrent IMR sends new Jira issue alerts to the right team and notifies them based on on-call schedules via email, text messages(SMS), phone calls(Voice), Slack, Microsoft Teams and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Xurrent IMR provides your NOC, SRE and application engineers with detailed context around the Jira issue alert along with playbooks and a complete incident command framework to triage, remediate and resolve incidents with speed.
Whenever a Jira issue is generated, an alert is sent to Xurrent IMR, creating an incident. When that ticket is closed, Xurrent IMR will auto-resolve the incident.
You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific Jira ticket alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
