Integration Pack for Atlassian Jira

The Kelverion Integration Pack for Atlassian Jira is a compliant integration for Microsoft System Center Orchestrator. It provides pre-defined, reusable automation activities that enable Orchestrator runbooks to interact directly with Jira issue tracking processes, including monitoring, creating, updating and transitioning Jira issues.

Atlassian Jira is a leading work management and issue tracking platform used by software, IT, DevOps and business teams to plan, assign, track and report on work. Jira helps teams manage everything from agile software development and bug tracking to service requests, incidents, changes and operational tasks, giving teams a shared place to capture work, monitor progress and collaborate across departments.
For organisations that rely on System Center Orchestrator to coordinate IT processes, the Integration Pack extends runbook automation into Jira without requiring custom scripting for every interaction. This helps operations teams connect service desk, monitoring, application support and development workflows into a single automated process.

Typical Automation Scenarios

  • Automated Application Fault Reporting
    When event management or monitoring tools detect an application fault, Orchestrator can automatically create a Jira issue for the development team
  • Service Desk to Development Synchronisation
    Convert application-related service desk tickets into Jira issues and keep the service desk updated as development work progresses
  • Incident and Bug Lifecycle Automation
    Create, update and transition Jira issues as incidents move through investigation, remediation and closure
  • Operational Handoffs
    Automatically route issues between IT operations, support teams and development teams based on severity, service, application or business impact
  • Runbook-Driven Reporting
    Capture Jira issue status and progress as part of automated operational reporting and service management processes
