1. How does the Atlassian integration with nOps work?​

The integration connects directly to your Atlassian account using API credentials. nOps fetches usage and user activity data using your API key, processes it, and displays the information within the Essentials platform for detailed usage analysis and optimization recommendations.

2. What permissions does the API key require?​

The API key must have read-only permissions to access usage and user activity data. This ensures the key can access user information without having permissions to make changes to your Atlassian account or create new resources.

3. Can I use an existing API key?​

Yes, you can use an existing API key as long as it has the appropriate permissions to access usage and user activity data. However, for security best practices, we recommend creating a dedicated API key specifically for the nOps integration.

4. How long does it take for data to appear in nOps after setup?​

It may take up to 24 hours for the initial data synchronization to complete. After this period, your Atlassian usage data should be visible in the Usage Analysis tool.

5. What should I do if my usage data doesn't appear after 24 hours?​

If the data is not visible after 24 hours, check the following:

  • Verify that the API key is correct and has not expired
  • Confirm that the API key has the required permissions to access usage and user activity data
  • Ensure that there is actual user activity in your Atlassian account
  • Check that the API key name is correctly entered in the integration setup

If the issue persists, contact nOps support for assistance.

6. Can I monitor multiple Atlassian accounts?​

Yes, you can monitor multiple Atlassian accounts by setting up separate integrations for each account. Each integration requires its own API key with appropriate permissions. This allows you to track user activity across different projects, departments, or environments.

7. What Atlassian usage data is tracked in the integration?​

The integration tracks user activity and resource utilization data from your Atlassian account, including:

  • Jira Software user activity and idle users
  • Confluence user engagement and content creation patterns
  • Bitbucket repository usage and developer activity
  • Trello board activity and user engagement
  • Atlassian Marketplace app utilization
  • Any other usage metrics from Atlassian services

8. What happens if my API key expires?​

If your API key expires, the integration will no longer be able to fetch new usage data. You'll need to generate a new API key in Atlassian and update the integration in nOps with the new key. We recommend setting a reminder for key expiration if you've configured an expiration date.
