Jira Setup Guide

Fivetran supports both Jira On-Premise and Jira Cloud. How we connect to Jira depends on which Jira installation you have. Select the setup guide for your Jira installation:

• Jira On-Premise
• Jira Cloud

Prerequisiteslink

To connect your Jira account to Fivetran, you need:

• Your Jira host name
• Your port
• A connecting user with access to all the data in the Jira UI that you’d like to analyze. If you’d like to sync Jira Service Management (formerly Jira Service Desk), you need the appropriate higher permissions.
• For Jira On-Premise - your username and password
• For Jira Cloud - create an application link (see Jira docs) with the following details:
  • Application URL: https://fivetran.com
  • Consumer key: OauthKey
  • Public key: Use the public key mentioned in the Jira Setup Form

IMPORTANT: Only use an HTTPS URL with TLS version 1.2 or above.
