Integrate with Uptime Cloud 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's Uptime Cloud Monitor Integration Integration to forward Uptime Cloud Monitor Integration alerts to Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for these alerts and 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 activated on Uptime Cloud Monitor Integration, an alert is created in Jira Service Management automatically through the integration.
When an alert is cleared on Uptime Cloud Monitor Integration, the alert is closed in Jira Service Management.
Set up the integration
Uptime Cloud Monitor is an API integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add an Uptime Cloud Monitor integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Uptime Cloud Monitor
Add an Uptime Cloud Monitor 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 an Uptime Cloud Monitor 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 “Uptime Cloud Monitor”.
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 Uptime Cloud Monitor later.Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.
