How it works

The Jira connector pulls in all tickets from specified projects every 10 minutes.

For each issue, it collects:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Common fields (assignee, reporter, status, etc.)
  • Custom fields
  • Comments

Setting up

Authorization

  • Jira Cloud: Follow this guide to obtain an Access Token.
  • Jira Server: Follow this guide to obtain a Personal Access Token.

Indexing

  1. Go to the Admin Dashboard in Hymalaia.
  2. Select the Jira Connector.

For Jira Cloud:

  • Enter your Access Token and the Username it’s associated with.

Selecting Projects to Index

  • For each Jira project you want to index, provide the URL to any page within the project.
