Administering Jira applications Support

Data pipeline provides an easy way to export data from your Jira or Confluence site, and feed it into your existing data platform (like Tableau or PowerBI ). This allows you to:

generate richer reports and visualizations of site activity
better understand how your teams are using your application
make better decisions on optimizing the use of Jira or Confluence in your organization

You can trigger a data export of the current state data through the REST API, and view the status of your exports in your application’s admin console. Data will be exported in CSV format. You can only perform one data export at a time.

For a detailed reference of the exported data's schema, see Data pipeline export schema.

Data pipeline is available in Data Center editions of:

Jira 8.14 and later
Confluence 7.12 and later

On this page:

Requirements

To trigger data exports through the REST API, you’ll need:

A valid Jira Data Center license
Jira system administrator permissions. See Security overview for more information about supported API authentication methods.

Considerations

There are a number of security and performance impacts you’ll need to consider before getting started.

Security

The export will include all data, including PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and restricted content. This is to provide you with as much data as possible, so you can filter and transform to generate the insights you’re after.

If you need to filter out data based on security and confidentiality, this must be done after the data is exported.

Exported files are saved in your shared home directory, so you’ll also want to check this is secured appropriately.

Performance impact

Exporting data is a resource-intensive process impacting application nodes, your database, and indexes. In our internal testing, we observed performance degradation in all product functions on the node actively performing an export.

To minimize the risk of performance problems, we strongly recommend that you:

Perform the data export during hours of low activity, or on a node with no activity.
Limit the amount of data exported through the fromDate parameter, as a date further in the past will export more data, resulting in a longer data export.

Our test results also showed the following approximate durations for the export per number of issues:

Number of issues	Approximate export duration
Number of issues	Jira Software installed	Jira Software+Jira Service Management installed
1 Million	15 minutes	30 minutes to 2 hours
7 Million	2 hours	3-6 hours
30 Million	9 hours	12-24 hours

Test performance VS production

The performance data presented here is based on our own internal regression testing. The actual duration and impact of data export on your own environment will likely differ depending on your infrastructure, applications installed (as in, Jira Software and Jira Service Management), configuration, and load.

We used Jira Performance Tests to test a data export's performance on a Jira Data Center environment on AWS. This environment had one c5.9xlarge Jira node and one PostgreSQL database. To test user load, we used 24 virtual users across 2 virtual user nodes.

Perform an export

Use the data pipeline REST API to export data.

If your application is configured to use a context path, such as /jira, remember to include this in the <base-url> in the examples below.

To export the current state data, make a POST request to <base-url>/rest/datapipeline/latest/export.

Use the fromDate parameter to limit the data exported to just entities created or updated after the fromDate value.

This parameter only accepts date values set in ISO 8601 format (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmTZD). For example:

2020-12-30T23:01Z
2020-12-30T22:01+01:00
(you'll need to use URL encoding in your request, for example 2020-12-30T22%3A03%2B01%3A00)

If you trigger an export without the fromDate parameter, all data from the last 365 days will be exported.

Here is an example request, using cURL and a personal access token for authentication:

curl -H "Authorization:Bearer ABCD1234" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" 
-X POST https://myexamplesite.com/rest/datapipeline/latest/
export?fromDate=2020-10-22T01:30:11Z

The "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" header is only required for Confluence. You can omit this for Jira.

The POST request returns the following responses.

Sample responses...

Code

Description

202

Data export started. For example:

{
  "startTime":"2021-03-03T12:08:24.045+11:00",
  "nodeId":"node1",
  "jobId":124,
  "status":"STARTED",
  "config":{
     "exportFrom":"2020-03-03T12:08:24.036+11:00",
     "forcedExport":false
  }
}

409

Another data export is already running:

{

  "startTime":"2021-03-03T12:08:24.045+11:00",
  "nodeId":"node1",
  "jobId":124,
  "status":"STARTED",
  "config":{
     "exportFrom":"2020-03-03T12:08:24.036+11:00",
     "forcedExport":false
  }
}

422

Data export failed due to an inconsistent index:

{
  "startTime": "2021-01-13T09:01:01.917+11:00",
  "completedTime": "2021-01-13T09:01:01.986+11:00",
  "nodeId": "node2",
  "jobId": 56,
  "status": "FAILED",
  "config": {
    "exportFrom": "2020-07-17T08:00:00+10:00",
    "forcedExport": false
  },
  "errors": [
    {
      "key": "export.pre.validation.failed",
      "message": "Inconsistent index used for export job."
    }
  ]
}

If this occurs, you may need to reindex and then retry the data export.

Alternatively, you can force a data export using the forceExport=true query parameter. However, forcing an export on an inconsistent index could result in incomplete data.

The following response is returned when you force an export an an inconsistent index to warn you that the data might be incomplete.

{
  "startTime": "2021-01-13T09:01:42.696+11:00",
  "nodeId": "node2",
  "jobId": 57,
  "status": "STARTED",
  "config": {
    "exportFrom": "2020-07-17T08:01:00+10:00",
    "forcedExport": true
  },
  "warnings": [
    {
      "key": "export.pre.validation.failed",
      "message": "Inconsistent index used for export job."
    }
  ]
}

Check the status of an export

You can check the status of an export and view when your last export ran from within your application’s admin console. To view data export status:

In the upper-right corner of the screen, select Administration > System.
Select Data pipeline

There are a number of export statuses:

Not started - no export is currently running
Started - the export is currently running
Completed - the export has completed
Cancellation requested - a cancellation request has been sent
Cancelled - the export was cancelled
Failed - the export failed.

For help resolving failed or cancelled exports, see Data pipeline troubleshooting.

You can also use the REST API. To get the status of the most recent export, make a GET request to <base-url>/rest/datapipeline/latest/export.

The GET request returns a 200 code, but the responses will differ depending on the stage the export is in.

The GET request returns the following responses.

Sample responses...

Status	Sample response
Before you start the first export	`{}`
During an export	`{ "startTime": "2020-11-01T06-35-41-577+11", "nodeId": "node1", "jobId": 125, "status": "STARTED" "config":{ "exportFrom":"2020-03-03T12:08:24.036+11:00", "forcedExport":false } }`
After a successful export	`{ "startTime":"2021-03-03T12:08:24.045+11:00", "completedTime":"2021-03-03T12:08:24.226+11:00", "nodeId":"node3", "jobId":125, "status":"COMPLETED", "config": { "exportFrom":"2020-03-03T12:08:24.036+11:00", "forcedExport":false }, "statistics" { "exportedEntities":23, "writtenRows":54 } }`
After a cancellation request, but before the export is actually cancelled	`{ "startTime":"2021-03-03T12:08:24.045+11:00", "completedTime":"2021-03-03T12:08:24.226+11:00", "nodeId":"Node1", "jobId":125, "status":"CANCELLATION_REQUESTED", "config": { "exportFrom":"2020-03-03T12:08:24.036+11:00", "forcedExport":false }, }`
After an export is cancelled	`{ "startTime": "2020-11-02T04-20-34-007+11", "cancelledTime": "2020-11-02T04-24-21-717+11", "completedTime": "2020-11-02T04-24-21-717+11", "nodeId":"node2", "jobId":125, "status":"CANCELLED", "config": { "exportFrom":"2020-03-03T12:08:24.036+11:00", "forcedExport":false }, "statistics" { "exportedEntities":23, "writtenRows":12 } }`

Cancel an export

To cancel an export that is still in progress, make a DELETE request to <base-url>/rest/datapipeline/latest/export.

The DELETE request returns the following responses.

Sample responses...

Code Description

200

Cancellation accepted:

{
  "status": "OK",
  "message": "Cancellation request successfully received.
 Currently running export job will be stopped shortly."
}

409

Request discarded, because there is no ongoing export:

{
  "status": "WARNING",
  "message": "Cancellation request aborted. There is no
export job running to cancel."
}

Automatic data export cancellations

If a node running a data export is gracefully shut down, the export will be automatically marked as CANCELLED.

However, if the JVM is not notified after a crash or hardware-level failure occurs, the export process may get locked. This means you'll need to manually mark the export as CANCELLED by making a DELETE request. This releases the process lock, allowing you to perform another data export.

Configuring the data export

You can configure the format of the export data through the following system properties.

Default value	Description
plugin.data.pipeline.embedded.line.break.preserve
`false`	Specifies whether embedded line breaks should be preserved in the output files. Line breaks can be problematic for some tools such as Hadoop. This property is set to `False` by default, which means that line breaks are escaped.
plugin.data.pipeline.embedded.line.break.escape.char
`\\n`	Escaping character for embedded line breaks. By default, we'll print `\n` for every embedded line break.

Output files

Each time you perform a data export, we assign a numerical job ID to the task (starting with 1 for your first ever data export). This job ID is used in the file name, and location of the files containing your exported data.

Location of exported files

Exported data is saved as separate CSV files. The files are saved to the following directory:

<shared-home>/data-pipeline/export/<job-id> if you run Jira in a cluster
<local-home>/data-pipeline/export/<job-id> you are using non-clustered Jira

Within the <job-id> directory you will see the following files:

issues_job<job_id>_<timestamp>.csv (for issues)

It is expected that the Product Owner will work with the team to make sure that the backlog represents the current approach to delivering the product.

Stories describe the task a particular user is trying to achieve and its value. They are typically of the form ""As a (role) I want (something) so that (benefit)"". This approach focuses the team on the core user need rather than on implementation details. \n\nStories are ""placeholders for a conversation"" -- they do not need to be especially detailed since it is expected that the team will work together to resolve ambiguity as the story is developed. \n\nStories to be implemented in the future are stored in the Product Backlog. The backlog is ranked by the Product Owner so that the next items to be completed are at the top.",,10000,Marek Szczepański,10000,Marek Szczepański,,,To Do,To Do,3,Medium,,0,0,2020-10-31T19:04:21Z,,2020-10-31T19:04:21Z,,,,,,,,,,"[""Version 2.0""]"
