JIRA

Auto-Detection
Built-in Metrics

Bleemeo monitors JIRA through automatic service detection and JMX metrics collection for issue tracker performance.

Auto-Detection

Section titled “Auto-Detection”

Glouton automatically detects JIRA instances running on the system.

To enable metrics gathering, the Bleemeo agent must be installed with JMX enabled. See Java Metrics for setup details.

JIRA must also expose JMX over a TCP port:

  • Add -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3333 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false to the JVM. The default JIRA startup script accepts these from CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS environment variables.

If auto-detected parameters are incorrect, you can override them manually.

Terminal window
sudo tee /etc/glouton/conf.d/99-jira.conf > /dev/null << 'EOF'
service:
  # For a JIRA running outside a container
  - type: "jira"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 8080
    jmx_port: 3333
    jmx_username: "monitorRole" # by default, no authentication is done
    jmx_password: "secret"

  - type: "jira"
