Deploy the DevOps dashboard in PowerBI
The data pipeline allows you to export data from your Jira instance for analysis in your favorite business intelligence tool.
To get you started, we’ve developed a DevOps template in Tableau which provides useful insights into the health of your engineering teams, and should provide a great jumping off point for creating your own dashboards and reports.

This page will guide you through how to deploy our sample DevOps template in Microsoft PowerBI, and connect it to your data source.

Import data pipeline CSVs
Before you can use the template with your own data, you need to import the CSV files exported by the data pipeline in Jira Data Center into a database or blob storage.
The sample DevOps template uses the following files:
issues_job<job_id>_<timestamp>.csvfile.issue_history_job<job_id>_<timestamp>.csvfile.
How you import this data depends on where it will be stored.
Azure blob storage
Upload the two CSV files into Container.
You will need to rename the files as follows:
issues.csvissue_history.csv
Azure SQL and PostgreSQL
In your database, create an issues and issue_history table as follows.
CREATE TABLE issues (
id varchar(50),
instance_url varchar(1000),
"key" varchar(1000),
url varchar(1000),
project_key varchar(1000),
project_name varchar(1000),
project_type varchar(1000),
project_category varchar(1000),

CREATE TABLE issue_history (
issue_id varchar(50),
changelog_id varchar(50),
author_id varchar(50),
author_key varchar(1000),
created_date varchar(50),
field_type varchar(1000),

"from" varchar(1000),
from_string varchar(1000),
"to" varchar(1000),
to_string varchar(1000),
additional_information varchar(2000));Import the appropriate CSV file into each table.
For SQL, see Load data from CSV into Azure SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance (flat files) in the Microsoft documentation.
For PostgreSQL, there are several methods you can use. See Import CSV File Into PostgreSQL Table for some suggested methods.
Launch the template and connect to your data
Now that you have imported your data, we can launch the .pbix template in PowerBI, and connect it to your data source.
To connect to your data:
- Open PowerBI Desktop and launch the file.
- Select Get data.
- Choose your data source and follow the prompts to enter your database details and credentials.
- Choose issues and issue_history tables to include and select Load.
- Select Refresh to update the dashboard data.
- The dashboard should display your data.
For more information on connecting or replacing a data source, refer to the Microsoft PowerBI documentation.
