jira-exporter 1.1.0

Configure API token

You’ll need to provide an API token to access the Jira REST API. Currently HTTP Basic authentication is used. See the Jira documentation for details.

Start HTTP service

Start the HTTP server like this:

$ JIRA_URL=https://example.atlassian.net JIRA_USERNAME=test@example.com JIRA_PASSWORD=APITOKEN jira_exporter --host=127.0.0.1 --port=9653

Pass --ttl=SECONDS to cache API results for the given time or -1 to disable (default is 600). Prometheus considers metrics stale after 300s, so that’s the highest scrape_interval one should use. However it’s usually unnecessary to hit the API that often, since the vulnerability alert information does not change that rapidly.

You can restrict which projects to look at by passing a comma-separated list of project keys (FOO, BAR etc.) with --projects.

Configure Prometheus

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'jira'
    scrape_interval: 300s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9653']

We export one metric, a gauge called jira_issues_total, with labels {project="PROJ", status="open"}.

Additionally, a jira_scrape_duration_seconds gauge is exported.
