Jira ticket with a Dynatrace Problem

The linkage between a Jira ticket and a Dynatrace Problem is done by storing the Dynatrace Problem ID as an Entity Property on the Jira ticket. The property is named "dynatraceProblemId" and contains a JSON object with details such as "Unique Dynatrace Problem ID", "Severity", "Impact", "Tags", "Status". The property itself is not visible to the end user. End users can however use JQL (JIRA Jira Query Language) to search for Jira tickets that are associated with a Dynatrace Problem. The "dynatraceProblemId" entity property is set in different scenarios

Live Problem Status Overview

If the JIRA Jira ticket is linked with a Dynatrace Problem the Add-On will query LIVE data through the Dynatrace Problem REST API and display the information in a panel.

...

The linked Dynatrace problem data including Tags, Impact, Severity, Status, ... is indexed by JIRAJira. This allows JIRA Jira users to query JIRA Jira tickets that are linked to Dynatrace Problems. This is especially useful to search for related problems.

...

If you add a comment to a JIRA Jira ticket we do not only scan for a link to a Dynatrace Problem to link the ticket with that problem. In case the JIRA Jira ticket is already linked we push the comment to the Dynatrace side so that the comment can be seen in both JIRA Jira and Dynatrace. Dynatrace comments are displayed in Jira in a dedicated Dynatrace Comments tab. Comments are displayed in chronological order and support full markdown syntax.
