Can I get trial license to test with my data?

 Show answer

We are aware that seeing the integration in action with your own data gives you better insight into how it works and how can you benefit from that and therefore yes, we can also provide the trial, time limited, license

Are there any configuration changes needed in Dynatrace?

 Show answer

The only required action in Dynatrace is to create an API token with proper permissions, so the problem and topology data can be pulled fromDynatrace to Jira.

If you are interested in problem synchronization, you will also need to setup new custom notification integration and for some advanced options you might want to consider setting up notification profiles or management zones to filter which entities are going to be synchronized into Jira and which not. More information about the application setup: Installation

Can I use the add-on if I do not want to import the Smartscape topology?

 Show answer

Yes! Problem synchronization and Smartscape topology import are two areas, that even though work very well together, are also functional independently.

If you decide not to use Insight CMDB, Dynatrace entities affected by the problem could still be presented on issues as labels.

Can I use the add-on only for Smartscape topology import into Jira CMDB?

 Show answer

Yes! Problem synchronization and Smartscape topology import are two areas, that even though work very well together, are also functional independently.

If you do not want to use problem synchnonization, you can turn it of in add-on settings and skip the notification setup on Dynatrace side.

Can only the part of Smartscape Topology be imported into Insight?

 Show answer

Of course! If it makes no sesnse for you to import whole infrastructure, you can set up filter based on Dynatrace features like Management Zones or you can filter entities on Jira side with IQL which is native query languare for Insight CMDB.

What does the Create predefined Structure/Configuration? Can I modify it?

 Show answer

Predefined structure is a complete structure we prepared for you to give you a quick start and an idea of what data you can get from Dynatrace entities and what you can do with it.

Structure can be modified to your own preference as well as the attribute mapping. You can use all the features Insight as a CMDB provides.

How should I use the integration? What is it good for?

 Show answer

  • Auto CMDB sync

  • Auto ticketing with business impact and root cause

  • Link technical problems to business processes

  • Auto problem remediation…
