Set up Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud

Note

You must generate an API token before setting up the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud. See Generate API tokens for Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud for information about classic user tokens and scoped service account tokens.

Follow the instructions to set up Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud:

  1. On Splunk Web, go to the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud, either by selecting the name of this add-on on the left navigation banner or by going to Manage Apps, then selecting Launch App for the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud.
  2. Select the Configuration and then the Domain tab.
  3. Select Add.
  4. In the Add Domain dialog, provide your-domain and select Add.
  5. Select the API token tab and select Add.

  6. In the Add API token dialog, provide the required fields:

    • Domain - Select your domain
    • Label - Name your API token; consider using the same label as used in Jira Cloud
    • User name - Email address related to the account you used to create the API token
    • API token type - Select Classic API token for an Atlassian user token or Scoped API token (service account) for an Atlassian service account token
    • API token - Use the Token you previously created and saved

    When you select a scoped API token, the add-on automatically discovers the Cloud ID for the selected domain and sends Jira REST requests through the Atlassian API gateway. Existing configurations without an API token type continue to use classic token authentication.

  7. Select Add.

(Optional) Change logging level

  1. On Splunk Web, go to the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud by selecting the name of this add-on on the left navigation banner or by going to Manage Apps, then selecting Launch App in the row for the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud.
  2. Select Configuration, and Logging, and then select a new logging level from the drop-down.
  3. Select Save.

(Optional) Configure a Proxy

  1. On Splunk Web, go to the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud.
  2. Select Configuration.
  3. Select Proxy.
  4. In Proxy Host, enter an IP address, hostname, or fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as demo-proxy.com.
  5. Fill in the remaining required details.

Note

The add-on supports HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy types.
