Prerequisites

Before configuring the connector, make sure the following requirements are already in place:

• Files with JSON formatted logs that include parameters like title and severity.
• An S3 bucket configured to send file creation notifications to an SQS queue.
• A target Jira project where the issues will be created.

Configuration

Follow these steps from the Jira admin settings page to configure the AWS S3-SQS Log Connector:

1. In Jira Admin settings, select AWS S3-SQS Log Connector.
2. Provide the AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Key. These credentials will be stored securely inside the application.
3. Enter the full URL of your SQS Queue.
4. Provide the AWS Region identifier where the S3 bucket and SQS queue are located.
5. Select the scheduling frequency from the dropdown. This determines how often the application polls the SQS queue for new events.
6. Enter the key of your Jira project.
7. Click Fetch Issues to retrieve the available issue types for that project. If no custom selection is made, the default issue type will be Task.
8. Select the Jira issue type you want the connector to create.
9. Choose the log severities for which issues should be created.
