Jira Integration Setup
Here are the steps to integrate with an existing Jira instance:ModelOp Center provides the ability for the Model Life Cycle to create tickets within the existing Jira ticket system. The Model Life Cycle can create tickets corresponding to the manual steps and tasks required. This includes items such as approvals, reviews, tasks, and other activities in the Model’s Life Cycle. This guide details the steps to enable the integration.
Jira Integration Setup
Prerequisites
This guide assumes moc-builder has been installed. Please request download instructions for moc-builder here. Before configuring moc-builder, the Jira instance will need a service account created and configured to use an API token. To create an API Token, follow the documentation at https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html. This example assumes that the service account uses the email "jira@modelop.com".
moc-builder Jira Configuration
The integration requires the ModelOp Center Gateway url and the url of the Jira instance to be integrated.
First, determine the external-ip of the Gateway. Set the Kubernetes context to the cluster and namespace that has ModelOp Center deployed. Run the following command:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
kubectl get svc |
The command will return an output like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
[johncarter@Johns-MacBook-Pro moc-builder (John@modelop-eks-test.us-east-2.eksctl.io:mocaasin)]$ kb get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
engine-1 ClusterIP 10.100.72.22 <none> 8003/TCP 23h
engine-2 ClusterIP 10.100.31.255 <none> 8003/TCP 23h
engine-test ClusterIP 10.100.215.6 <none> 8003/TCP 23h
gateway LoadBalancer 10.100.126.106 foo1.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com 8090:31166/TCP 23h
jupyter ClusterIP 10.100.242.107 <none> 8888/TCP 23h
kafka ClusterIP 10.100.113.242 <none> 9092/TCP 23h
minio ClusterIP 10.100.82.143 <none> 9000/TCP 23h
mlc-manager LoadBalancer 10.100.145.82 foo3.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com 8085:31741/TCP 23h
model-manager ClusterIP 10.100.205.30 <none> 8086/TCP,8088/TCP 23h
mongodb ClusterIP 10.100.45.49 <none> 27017/TCP 23h
postgres ClusterIP 10.100.77.22 <none> 5432/TCP 23h
registry ClusterIP 10.100.138.128 <none> 8761/TCP 23h
reporting-service ClusterIP 10.100.38.87 <none> 8091/TCP 23h |
The important value is the external-ip and port corresponding to the ModelOp Center Gateway. In this example, it’s foo1.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com:8090.
NOTE: If the environemnt using ingresses instead of load balancers, run kubectl get ing and obtain the address corresponding to the ingress that points to gateway. Do not append the port number to the end of the address. That is only required if you are using the external IP from a service of type LoadBalancer.
Next, open the config.json file within moc-builder’s config directory and navigate to the mlc-manager section. It will contain the following:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
"mlc-manager": {
...
"env": {
...
"modelop.gateway-url": "http://gateway:8090",
...
"mlc.jira-task-monitor.url": "http://jira:8086",
...
},
...
}, |
Change the value of the modelop.gateway-url env variable to be the location of gateway from above and change the value of the mlc.jira-task-monitor.url to be the location of the Jira instance. In this example, the Jira instance is located at "https://foo.atlassian.net".
Here is the example config.json:
| Code Block |
|---|
"mlc-manager": {
...
"env": {
...
"modelop.gateway-url": "http://foo1.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com:8090",
...
"mlc.jira-task-monitor.url": "https://foo.atlassian.net",
...
},
...
}, |
Go ahead and save the config file and open up the file located in moc-builder at data/secrets.json. Here is how the file looks:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
...
"JIRA_USERNAME": "demo",
"JIRA_PASSWORD": "modelop",
...
} |
Change the JIRA_USERNAME value to be the email associated with the service account and the JIRA_PASSWORD to be the API token that was generated by Atlassian in the prerequisites step.
Here is the example:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
...
"JIRA_USERNAME": "jira@modelop.com",
"JIRA_PASSWORD": "API token goes here",
...
} |
Next, create a new project in the Jira instance and note the key. Now update the key within the BPMN to be uploaded in ModelOp Center. For example, update the NotficationToITSM.bpmn BPMN within moc-builder to use the Project Key within the delegate:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
notificationAssignment.setJiraProjectKey("YOUR PROJECT KEY"); |
Next, run the moc-builder compose and deploy commands to bring up the instance of ModelOp Center integrated with Jira.
Note: by default ModelOp Center's BPMN files only require the use of a "Task" issue type, so please confirm the Jira project has the Issue Type available.
