Installation

Before you install the Atlassian Jira connector, you must ensure that the Mindbreeze server is installed and that the Atlassian Jira connector is included in the license. Use the Mindbreeze Management Center to install or update the connector.

Plugin installation via Mindbreeze Management Center

To install the plug-in, open the Mindbreeze Management Center. Select "Configuration" from the menu pane on the left-hand side. Then navigate to the "Plugins" tab. In the "Plugin Management" section, select the appropriate zip file and upload it by clicking the "Upload" button. (Note: The name of the plugin is "WebRestConnector".) This automatically installs or updates the connector, as the case may be. In this process, the Mindbreeze services are restarted.

Configuring the index and crawler

To create a new index, navigate to the "Indices" tab and click on the "Add new index" icon in the upper right corner.

Enter the path to the index and change the display name as necessary.

Add a new data source by clicking the "Add new custom source" icon at the top right. Select the category “Atlassian Jira“.

In the “Connection Settings“ section, enter the access credentials of the crawler user ("User Name" and "Password" properties).

In the "Content Settings" section, enter the URL at which Jira is available. (Atlassian Jira URL).

Then save the configuration and restart.
