Prerequisites for connecting Amazon Q Business to Jira

Before you begin, make sure that you have completed the following prerequisites.

In Jira, make sure you have:

• Created Jira API token authentication credentials that include a Jira ID (email ID with domain) and a Jira credential (Jira API token). See Atlassian documentation on managing API tokens.

• Noted the Jira account URL from your Jira account settings. For example, https://company.atlassian.net/.

• Noted your Jira project key ID from your Jira project settings if you want to crawl only specific Jira projects.

In your AWS account, make sure you have:

• Created an IAM role for your data source and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the IAM role.

• Stored your Jira authentication credentials in an AWS Secrets Manager secret and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the secret.

  Note

  If you’re a console user, you can create the IAM role and Secrets Manager secret as part of configuring your Amazon Q application on the console.

For a list of things to consider while configuring your data source, see Data source connector configuration best practices.
