Automatically Create Incidents from Alerts in Jira Service Management for a Specific Team


Platform Notice: Cloud - This article applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.

Summary

This article provides steps to automatically create incidents from alerts in Jira Service Management using Operation Teams automation rules. This setup helps streamline incident management by ensuring that any critical alert is escalated to an incident, allowing the support team to respond promptly.

Environment

Jira Service Management Cloud 

Diagnosis

Users may encounter scenarios where they want incidents to be automatically created from alerts for specific teams or services without manual intervention. The need for automation typically arises to enhance response times and reduce manual effort in creating incidents from alerts.

Cause

This issue occurs because, by default, alerts generated in Opsgenie or Jira Service Management Operations are not automatically escalated to incidents. Users need to configure specific automation rules within Opsgenie to ensure that alerts are converted to incidents based on predefined conditions.

Solution

To automate the creation of incidents from alerts, follow the steps below:

  • Go to Teams from the main menu.
  • Select Operations.
  • Click on Automation.
  • In the Automation section, look for the template that suits your requirement.
  • Select the template named "When an alert is created → Create an incident".
  • Specify further conditions under which the rule should trigger 
  • After configuring the necessary conditions and actions, click Save to activate the automation rule.

This setup will automatically generate an incident for each alert matching the specified conditions.
