Jira Data Center
The Jira Data Center connector for Elimity Insights fetches users, groups, roles and projects from Jira Data Center so you can keep in control of your environment. Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.
1. Setting up a gateway
The Elimity Insights built-in connector for Jira Data Center uses the REST API of your on-premise instance to import users, groups, roles and projects. It's not always feasible to let Elimity Insights connect directly with this API in your on-premise environment, especially for our SaaS customers. Additionally, Jira does not support fine-grained access: this connector requires both the 'Jira administrators' and 'Browse users' permissions. For these reasons we ask our customers to set up an additional point of indirection: each deployment of the Elimity Insights built-in connector for Jira Data Center should communicate with an on-prem instance of the Elimity Insights gateway for Jira Data Center. Only the on-prem gateway instance will access the Jira Data Center credentials and REST API. Refer to the documentation about our Jira Data Center gateway for detailed setup instructions.
Note down your gateway's URL and the secret token you generated for authentication.
2. Creating a source in Elimity Insights
In Elimity Insights you can now create a new Jira Data Center source providing the following configuration options:
Gateway URL
HTTP(S) URL of the Elimity Insights Jira Data Center gateway you set up in step 1.
Gateway secret token
Secret token you generated in step 1.
