Connecting Amazon Q Business to Jira using APIs - Amazon Q Business

Connecting Amazon Q Business to Jira using APIs

You use the CreateDataSource action to connect a data source to your Amazon Q application.

Then, you use the configuration parameter to provide a JSON schema with all other configuration information specific to your data source connector.

For an example of the API request, see CreateDataSource in the Amazon Q API Reference.

Jira JSON schema

The following table provides information about important JSON keys to configure.

Configuration Description
connectionConfiguration Configuration information for the endpoint for the data source.
repositoryEndpointMetadata The endpoint information for the data source.

Amazon Q Business crawls ACL information by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents your end users have access to. See Authorization for more details.

maxFileSizeInMegaBytes Specify the maximum single file size limit in MBs that Amazon Q will crawl. Amazon Q will crawl only the files within the size limit you define. The default file size is 50MB. The maximum file size should be greater than 0MB and less than or equal to 50MB.

  • issueSubEntityFilter

Choose to customize the scope of your crawl with specific entities. You can add specific status types, additional elements, and issue types to crawl.
  • inclusionPatterns

A list of regular expression patterns to include specific content in your Jira data source. Content that matches the patterns are included in the index. Contents that doesn't match the pattern are excluded from the index. If any content matches both an inclusion and exclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence, and the content isn't included in the index.
  • exclusionPatterns

A list of regular expression patterns to exclude specific content in your Jira data source. Content that matches the patterns are excluded from the index. Content that doesn't match the patterns are included in the index. If any content matches both an inclusion and exclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence, and the content isn't included in the index.
type The type of data source. Specify JIRA as your data source type.
enableIdentityCrawler Specify true to use the Amazon Q identity crawler to sync identity/principal information on users and groups with access to specific documents.
Note

Amazon Q Business crawls identity information from your data source by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents end users have access to. For more information, see Identity crawler.

syncMode

Specify whether Amazon Q should update your index by syncing all documents or only new, modified, and deleted documents. You can choose between the following options:

  • Use FORCED_FULL_CRAWL to freshly re-crawl all content and replace existing content each time your data source syncs with your index.

  • Use FULL_CRAWL to incrementally crawl only new, modified, and deleted content each time your data source syncs with your index.

  • Use CHANGE_LOG to incrementally crawl only new and modified content each time your data source syncs with your index.

secretArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Secrets Manager secret that contains the key-value pairs required to connect to your Jira. The secret must contain a JSON structure with the following keys:

{ "Jira ID": "Jira user name or email host URL", "Password/Token": "Jira API token" }
version The version of this template that's currently supported.
