Jira Grafana SimpleJSON microservice

Connect Grafana to Jira Cloud to retrieve metrics on your Jira issues.

The original intention for this project was to allow me to show a singlestat count of open issues for my team's Jira Service Desk.

Requirements

This project only requires your Grafana instance to have the SimpleJson plugin installed.

Installation

Run the Docker container (replace environment variables with your Jira Cloud credentials):

$ docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name jira-grafana -e JIRA_HOST=jira_server.com -e JIRA_USER=srinivasraja54 -e JIRA_PASS=XXXX bluefrg/jira-grafana-json-datasource

Confirm running by visiting: http://localhost:3000

This Project tested with JIRA Server and Grafana on-prem. I suggest you create different set of filters and favourite them. This App retrives the favourite filters list and show stats accordingly as you create panels in Grafana

docker-compose.yml

The docker-compose is included as an example of how to test Grafana and the Jira Grafana JSON Datasource integration. Not intended for production use.

Setup

To add this as a data source in Grafana, go to Configuration -> Data Sources and click Add. For the Type choose SimpleJson. Enter the root URL for this project (e.g. http://localhost:3000).

When adding a panel to a dashboard, choose the newly created data source. Under the metrics tab, you will see your Jira filters as an option to plot on your panel.

Note: This app is inspired from https://github.com/bluefrg/jira-grafana-json-datasource which works with JIRA Cloud srinivasraja54/Jira_Grafana_API supposedly work with both Jira Server & Jira Cloud
