This blog assumes the reader is familiar with Jira Service Management and Enterprise Manager.

Are you currently using Jira Service Management for incident management and are interested in integrating it with Oracle Enterprise Manager monitoring? Now you can use our Jira Service Management REST Ticketing Connector to integrate Jira with Enterprise Manager for incident response and management.

We are excited to introduce the release of our new Jira Ticketing Connector in Enterprise Manager (EM)! It is certified on EM 13.5 and EM 24ai.

What are the features?

  • Creating and updating tickets
  • Using and creating ticketing templates

Creating and updating tickets using Oracle Enterprise Manager with Jira Service Management 

Using this connector, you can create, update, and manually close a ticket within Jira for any incident created in EM. You can either manually create a Jira ticket or set rules to automatically create a ticket when an incident is created in EM.

Figure 2: Defining a rule to automatically create a Jira ticket based on an incident condition.

 

The Jira ticket that is generated contains the relevant information about the EM incident. It also includes a link to the EM console to enable you to leverage EM’s diagnostic and resolution features to resolve the incident. In the EM console, the link to the Jira Incident is shown within the context of the incident to allow you to quickly access the ticket.

Using and Creating Ticketing Templates

You can also use ticketing templates to create Jira tickets that comply with your enterprise’s ticketing standards. These ticketing templates are used to map the EM incident and its attributes to the attributes of a Jira ticket. To get you started, you can use the out-of-the-box ticketing templates to customize these or define your own templates.
