Integrate with SolarWinds Database Performance Monitor
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 SolarWinds Database Performance Monitor (DPM) Integration to forward SolarWinds DPM alerts to Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– using email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in SolarWinds DPM, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
SolarWinds DPM is an API integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a SolarWinds DPM integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in SolarWinds DPM
Add a SolarWinds DPM 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.
