Summary
When troubleshooting performance problems in Jira applications, it's recommended review how many JSM (Jira Service Management) automation rules are being executed in the cluster at any given time, as depending on the numbers can be very impactful to the application performance.
Please note that this article only applies to the automation module provided by Jira Service Management, which is also now referred to as the Legacy Automation. This article does not apply to automations that come from Automation For Jira.
Solution
If you are using Automation for Jira, you can get the numbers using the Performance Insights functionality provided in the app, however, there's no equivalent functionality for the Automation module from Jira Service Management. To obtain these numbers, you can use the following SQL queries:
These SQL queries have been written for PostgreSQL. Different databases such as MySQL, Oracle and MSSQL will require adjustments to these queries, which should be done by your DBA.
The queries are using an interval of rolling 30 days, but you can adjust the interval as desired.
