Get started with Jira Service Management for admins
Your first stop for learning how to get started with Jira Service Management.
Integrate with Dynatrace
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.
What does the integration offer?
Use Jira Service Management's Dynatrace integration to send alerts to Jira Service Management API with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for these 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 on Dynatrace, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
This version of Dynatrace integration offers only limited functionality. For more features, check the support article for Dynatrace Webhook.
Set up the integration
Dynatrace is an API integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Dynatrace integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Dynatrace
Add a Dynatrace integration
If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.
Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.
To add a Dynatrace integration in Jira Service Management, complete the following steps:
Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “Dynatrace”.
On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.
Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the API key.
You will use this key while configuring the integration in Dynatrace later.Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.

To configure the integration of Dynatrace with Jira Service Management, complete the following steps:
In the Dynatrace app, go to Settings > Integration > Problem Notifications.
Select Set up notifications.
Select Opsgenie Integration.
Paste the API key copied previously into Opsgenie API key.
Enter values for the other fields, send a test notification, and save the integration.
