Jira Configuration

Configuration Fields

Enable Jira Integration: Toggle to enable or disable the entire integration. When disabled, no Jira issues will be created, but the configuration is preserved.

Project Key: The Jira project key where issues will be created, the short uppercase identifier shown at the start of every issue number (e.g., SEC in SEC-123). To find it: open your Jira project and look at any issue number, or go to Project Settings in Jira.

Issue Type: The type of Jira issue to create. After entering a valid Project Key and clicking Test Connection, this field becomes a searchable dropdown populated from the project’s available issue types (Task, Bug, Story, Security, etc.).

Severity → Jira Priority ID Mapping: Maps Aegis severity levels to Jira priority IDs.

Aegis SeverityDefault Jira Priority ID
Critical1 (Highest)
High2 (High)
Medium3 (Medium)
Low4 (Low)

Enter the numeric ID, not the label. Jira priority IDs can be found via your Jira project’s configuration or the Jira REST API.

Auto-create on critical case / SLA breach: When enabled, Jira issues are automatically created when a new case with Critical severity is created, or when a case’s SLA deadline is breached. Manual Jira issue creation is always available regardless of this setting.

Testing the Connection

  1. Enter the Project Key.
  2. Click Test Connection.
  3. If successful: a green banner shows “Connected, project: [Project Name]”. The Issue Type dropdown is automatically populated.
  4. If failed: a red banner shows the error.

Common errors:

  • “Project not found”: The project key is incorrect or Jira is not connected via Atlassian Administration.
  • “Jira is not configured”: You have not connected Jira via Atlassian Administration (see the first-time setup steps on the Integrations tab overview page).

The test connection result auto-dismisses after 3.5 seconds.
