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.
This project only requires your Grafana instance to have the SimpleJson plugin installed.
Run the Docker container (replace environment variables with your Jira Cloud credentials):
$ docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name jira-grafana -e JIRA_HOST=myjira.atlassian.net -e [email protected] -e JIRA_PASS=XXXX bluefrg/jira-grafana-json-datasourceConfirm running by visiting: http://localhost:3000
Note: This project has only been tested locally, and as a ECS task using Jira Cloud. Jira On-Prem is not supported by the dependencies used in this project.
It's recommended to use API tokens from your Atlassian API token page for authentication instead of your primary account username and password.
You can validate the connection to Jira is authenticating properly by visiting the test-jira endpoint at: http://localhost:3000/test-jira
A successful authentication will return the current user, a failure will return the HTTP response and detailed error message from Jira.
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.
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.
You can require authentication by adding a HTTP_USER and HTTP_PASS environment variable.
You will need to reconfigure your data source to use "Basic Auth".
