Overview

When resources change state, they automatically send Amazon CloudWatch events into an event stream. Create rules that match selected events in the stream and route them to targets to take action. Use rules to also take action on a pre-determined schedule.

What does the integration offer?

Use the Amazon CloudWatch Events integration in Jira Service Management to forward Amazon CloudWatch Events notifications to Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until they are acknowledged or closed.

How does the integration work?

When a state changes in your AWS resources, an alert is automatically created in Jira Service Management through the integration.

Set up the integration

Amazon CloudWatch Events is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add an Amazon CloudWatch Events integration in Jira Service Management

Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.
Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the endpoint URL generated for your account.
You will use this URL while configuring the integration in Amazon CloudWatch Events later.
Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.
