Jira

Our Jira integration (alert) creates an issue when certain activities occur on the Next-Gen WAF.

Setting up Jira integrations (alerts)

Jira integrations (alerts) are configured per project. To set up a Datadog integration (alert), create an API token for a new Jira user and then add the integration (alert).

Before you can add the Jira integration (alert), you need to create a new user in Jira and an API token for that user:

  1. Create a new user in JIRA for the integration (alert) to use.
  2. Create an API token for that user.
