Jira data source
Jira is an issue tracking, project management and workflow automation tool. Get the whole picture of your development process by combining issue data from Jira with application performance data from other sources.
Using Jira and Grafana you can:
- Create annotations based on issue creation or resolution, to see the relationship between issues and metrics
- Track detailed Jira stats, like mean time to resolution and issue throughput
