Jira + Dynatrace Integration
Connecting Jira (project management) and Dynatrace (monitoring) reduces the gap between project management and monitoring in your team's daily workflow. There's no native connector, but both tools work with Zapier and Make — the workflow below covers the fastest path.
Integration Status
Via automation platform
No direct native connector between Jira and Dynatrace, but both tools support Zapier and Make. Most PM workflows can be replicated with a few zaps.
What teams use this integration for
Escalate incidents to the backlog
When Dynatrace fires an alert, automatically create a Jira ticket with severity, affected service, and error context pre-filled. Incident response becomes trackable work rather than a chat thread.
Close the loop between incidents and features
Link Jira reliability improvement tasks to the Dynatrace alerts that triggered them, so you can track whether shipped fixes actually moved the needle.
Sync status automatically
When work progresses in Jira, reflect that change in Dynatrace automatically — reducing manual status updates and keeping stakeholders informed without extra effort.
Centralise team notifications
Route Jira activity — new comments, assignments, and status changes — into Dynatrace so your team stays informed in the tool they already have open.
How to set it up
- In Jira settings, check the Integrations section for a direct Dynatrace connector (Jira supports 20+ native integrations — Dynatrace may be listed).
- If no native connector exists, open Zapier or Make and search for both Jira and Dynatrace. Both tools are likely available as triggers and actions.
- Choose your trigger: a common starting point is "New task in Jira" triggering an action in Dynatrace, or vice versa. Start with one automation before building a full workflow.
- Connect and authorise both accounts in the automation platform. Use accounts with the right workspace permissions — read access isn't enough for write actions.
- Run a test with a live item. Check that data maps correctly (task titles, assignees, due dates) and adjust field mappings before activating for the team.
