Chapter 35. Jira Add Issue Sink


Add a new issue to Jira.

The Kamelet expects the following headers to be set:

  • projectKey / ce-projectKey: as the Jira project key.
  • issueTypeName / ce-issueTypeName: as the name of the issue type (example: Bug, Enhancement).
  • issueSummary / ce-issueSummary: as the title or summary of the issue.
  • issueAssignee / ce-issueAssignee: as the user assigned to the issue (Optional).
  • issuePriorityName / ce-issuePriorityName: as the priority name of the issue (example: Critical, Blocker, Trivial) (Optional).
  • issueComponents / ce-issueComponents: as list of string with the valid component names (Optional).
  • issueDescription / ce-issueDescription: as the issue description (Optional).

The issue description can be set from the body of the message or the issueDescription/ce-issueDescription in the header, however the body takes precedence.

To authenticate, a username/password or personal token must be defined. We recommend to use personal token as it is a safer way to get access to Jira.

35.3. Usage

35.3.1. Camel JBang usage

35.3.1.1. Prerequisites for JBang

  • Install JBang.
  • You have executed the following command:

    jbang app install camel@apache/camel

35.3.1.2. Running a route with JBang

Suppose you have a file named route.yaml with this content:

- route:
    from:
      uri: "kamelet:timer-source"
      parameters:
        period: 10000
        message: 'test'
      steps:
        - to:
            uri: "kamelet:log-sink"

You can now run it directly through the following command.

camel run route.yaml

35.3.2. Knative Sink

You can use the jira-add-issue-sink Kamelet as a Knative sink by binding it to a Knative object.

jira-add-issue-sink-binding.yaml

      name: my-topic
  steps:
  - ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1
      name: insert-header-action
    properties:
      name: "projectKey"
      value: "MYP"
