Overview

The Umbrella Cloud Cost enables you to get cost reports and alerts directly to Jira.

With Umbrella’s integration to Jira you can easily designate Umbrella alerts and reports to be open as an issue in a specific Jira Project with a given status.

Defining a Jira channel in Umbrella Cost

In Jira Cloud

Create an API token for the user you wish to use for this integration.

This user must have access to list Jira projects and create issues in these projects.

You need not have mandatory custom-fields in your "create issue" form - as Umbrella will not fill them and the process will fail. The create issue form must be allowed to be saved with the basic built-in fields which JIRA requires.
