Integrate with Graylog Plugin
This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.
The Graylog (Plugin) integration works with Graylog version 2 and earlier only. If you’re using a newer version, use the Graylog integration. Read how to integrate Jira Service Management with Graylog v3 and above.
Overview
What does the integration offer?
Jira Service Management has a specific alert plugin for Graylog. Use this plugin for Graylog to send stream alerts to Jira Service Management with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for Graylog alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in Graylog, an alert is also created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
Install the plugin
Download the appropriate version of the plugin according to your Graylog version.
Copy the .jar file into your plugins folder. Read how to copy the .jar file.
Restart the graylog-server.
Set up the integration
Graylog Plugin is an API integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
