Integrate with Dynatrace Webhook
- Shivi Sivasubramanian
Overview
What does the integration offer?
Use the Dynatrace integration to send alerts to Jira Service Management API with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for these alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created on Dynatrace, an alert is created in Jira Service Management. When the alert is resolved on Dynatrace, the alert is automatically closed in Jira Service Management through the integration.
Use available placeholders of Dynatrace alerts to configure the alert details in Jira Service Management.
Set up the integration
Dynatrace is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Dynatrace integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Dynatrace
Add Dynatrace integration
If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.
Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “Dynatrace”.

Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
