In order to connect Rollbar to Jira, you must configure an Application Link between Rollbar and Jira.

The correct menu is located in Settings > Products, not in the Apps dropdown.

  1. Go to Settings (gear icon in top right corner) → Products → Application Links, enter the URL https://rollbar.com and click Create New Link
  • You may see "No response was received from the URL you entered - it may not be valid. Please fix the URL below, if needed, and click Continue." This is nothing to worry about. You can just click Continue and it will work.

Input the consumer info and public key for authentication.

  1. Click Continue. Jira should finish configuring the application link then display the message:
Application Link 'Rollbar' created successfully.

In Rollbar

  1. Go to Projects.
  2. Click on the "+" under Integrations for your project
  3. Select the Jira channel
  4. If no users in the account have configured a Jira credential, then you will need to enter the URL of your Jira server to set up a default credential for the project. Otherwise, you can select from the available credentials in the account.
  • If you wish to set up an additional Jira credential for use as the project default, then go to User Settings → Connected Accounts → Jira to complete the configuration.
  1. Select a Jira Project and Issue Type for the linked issues created for the Rollbar Project
  2. By default, each Rollbar user must have a credential configured in order to use the Create Issue button in the item view. If you would like for project members to be able to use the default project credential rather than entering their own, then check Use default credentials if user has not connected to Jira.
  3. Click Send Test Notification to verify that issues can be created in your Jira project.
  4. Click Enable to turn on the integration.

NOTE: You must follow the steps below in "Rollbar for Jira" for the status changes to flow in both directions - without Rollbar for Jira, status changes will flow from Rollbar to Jira but not in reverse.
