Description

edit

This output allows you to use Logstash to parse and structure your logs and ship structured event data to JIRA.

Structured event data will be added to the JIRA issue as Description field value.

Example JSON-encoded event:

    {
      "message": "Hello JIRA!",
      "@version": "1",
      "@timestamp": "2015-06-04T10:23:30.279Z",
      "type": "syslog",
      "host": "192.168.1.42",
      "syslog_pri": "11",
      "syslog_timestamp": "Jun  4 14:23:30",
      "syslog_host": "myhost",
      "program": "root",
      "syslog_severity_code": 3,
      "syslog_facility_code": 1,
      "syslog_facility": "user-level",
      "syslog_severity": "error"
    }

Example JIRA issue created the event above:

To use this output you’ll need to ensure that your JIRA instance allows REST calls.

Common options

edit

These configuration options are supported by all output plugins:

Setting Input type Required

codec

codec

No

enable_metric

boolean

No

id

string

No

codec

edit
  • Value type is codec
  • Default value is "plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

enable_metric

edit
  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance. By default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 jira outputs. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {
  jira {
    id => "my_plugin_id"
  }
}
